WhileDiablo 4players are fully invested in season 4, many can’t wait forDiablo 4season 5. The said season won’t come for some time more as it is scheduled for early August, but to prepare for the new content, Blizzard recently opened a Public Test Real (PTR) server which lasted from June 25 to July 2.
The server allowed players a glimpse into a variety of new features firsthand, including a fearsome new incarnation of a classicDiabloenemy, the Butcher. This time around, The Butcher will come in a new iteration, The Burning Butcher.
The Butcher is a Legacy of Fear in Diablo
The world ofDiablois quite a dismal place full of gore and horror, but it is a pretty solid excuse to hunt for demons and monsters. One of those monsters is The Butcher. This mass of muscle and malice has been a part of the franchise since the debut title and has earned the name of a recurring nightmare.
Over the years, The Butcher was a guaranteed boss encounter, and players more often than not fell victim to its cleaver. InDiablo 4, this long-standing enemy was reduced to a random number generator (RNG).

It could appear behind every dungeon door, but the players have testified that the rate is pretty low. Nevertheless, its rarity made the victory all the sweeter.
Now, theDiablo 4Season 5 Public Test Realm revealed something that got players on their feet as the new version of the infamous enemy spawned during one player’s raids.
Diablo Season 5 is Bringing The Burning Butcher
YouTuber Rizarjay gave otherDiablo 4enthusiasts a glimpse of theterror that awaits in Season 5 as he captured The Burning Butcher encounter in the PTR. While the fight was rather brief, it shed light on a nightmarish new version of a familiar foe.
The Butcher didn’t just change its name; it has received a redesign with burning horns and cracks in the skin that glow like embers. This short battle happened during the endgame of Tier 3 Infernal Horde as the enemy started growling its infamous line, “Fresh Meat.“.
The YouTuber himself admitted that their character was already overpowered and he played on a low-difficulty setting, which resulted in a quick and positive ending.

Despite how quickly the YouTuber defeated Blizzard’s infamous creation, it is safe to say that The Burning Butcher won’t fall down that easily inDiablo 4Season 5 when it launches on August 6.
In addition to The Burning Butcher, the next season will bring a ton of new content, including new legendaries, uniques, and items, as well as some quality-of-life improvements that will make the game enjoyable for both veterans and new players alike.
It is still unknown if this is just a name change or if The Burning Butcher is stronger than the original one. Its power is yet to be seen, and untilDiablo 4Season 5 launches, let us know in the comments below what your thoughts are on the new version of this old enemy.
