Diablo 4, Blizzard Entertainment's 2023 dungeon-crawling game, achieved immense success within the franchise. Since its release, Blizzard has consistently updated the game with fresh content, and fans are now eagerly awaiting the Season 9 update, set to launch on July 1.
Season 8 of the game launched on April 29, 2025, and has garnered mixed reactions from players. While the introduction of Belial as a lair boss was well-received, the progression process has faced criticism. Covering all these, Blizzard is now ready with the next season, Sins of the Horadrim, on July 1. Before that, players will get a chance to attend the official developer livestream and claim Lacuni’s Pupil two‑handed Sorcerer staff.
June 27 has suddenly become a remarkable date for the Diablo 4 fans. Since the official release date of Season 9 came to light, fans have been waiting for the official developer livestream. Finally, the date is announced. The livestream is scheduled on June 27 livestream at 11 a.m. PDT.
The exciting part is, viewers who spend at least 30 minutes in any Diablo 4 stream with Drops enabled will be automatically qualified for the Lacuni’s Pupil staff. No purchase is required for that. Even if players don’t have the game, or the Season 8 update, one can still claim it during the livestream. The only condition is to link one’s Twitch account to their Battle.net and keep watching.
The eligible platforms for this Twitch drop include PC and Mac web browsers, along with the Twitch apps for Android and iOS. Once the viewing session is over, players can claim the Twitch drop from ‘Drop Inventory.’ Otherwise, they can go to the channel directly to claim it.

The highlight of the developer livestream is indeed the Lacuni’s Pupil staff. However, there will be more to note. This livestream will include an in-depth preview of Season 9’s core features, especially the upcoming Horadric questline. Aside from that, players will also know about the advanced Horadric Spellcraft mechanics, and the challenging Escalating Nightmares dungeons.
Moreover, a live Q&A will be there to resolve fan queries. Fans will be able to ask questions directly to developers. Interestingly, the livestream will uncover the endgame activities that will connect all three Nightmare dungeons.
Diablo 4’s upcoming season is exciting for fans who aren’t satisfied with the ongoing one. This upcoming Sins of the Horadrim season promises a lot to everyone. From new Escalating Nightmare dungeons to a new quest lineup, there are loads of things to explore. Again, the Twitch drop has brought a golden opportunity to get a high-reward perk, the Sorcerer staff, without any effort.
The Diablo 4 Season 9 Developer Update Livestream will be aired on Diablo 4 Twitch, YouTube, X, and TikTok channels at the same time. Watch for 30 minutes and claim the reward. Whether you are a newcomer or a veteran, this livestream brings a solid chance to combine storytelling, community interaction, and gameplay rewards in one experience.
