Diablo 4 will feature more than 150 dungeon locations [1] covering a variety of tilesets depending on location. Dungeon layouts will be randomised in Diablo 4.
Themes and Tilesets
Dungeons in Diablo 4 will differ from previous games where a single tileset would be present in any one dungeon. Diablo 4 feature what Blizzard calls "tileset transition scenes" which effectively connects two different tilesets together to make dungeons more interesting.
Dungeons can also be be themed depending on where they are in Sanctuary or whether they are tied to a specific cultural theme.
Players can expect dungeons to feel darker and more foreboding with Blizzard embracing Diablo 4's core pillar of a return to darkness.
Multiplayer
Dungeons will be restricted to either their player or their party taking them out of the open world experience.
Nightmare Dungeons
The Nightmare Dungeons are considered end-game dungeons.
Sigils
Sigils can be crafted at the Occultist.
Sigils allow players to upgrade dungeons to make them Nightmare Dungeons where additional affixes are applied to monsters in the dungeon.

Stronghold Dungeons
Stronghold areas can contain dungeons. These dungeons cannot be entered until the Stronghold has been liberated.
Known Dungeons
There are around 57 known dungeon names and these are all listed on the Dungeon category page. Some details of rewards are known already but more will be fleshed out once the beta test begins.
Rewards
- Dungeons are rewarding. Dungeons can unlock a Legendary Aspect in the Codex of Power.
- Completing a dungeon will also grant you experience and gold.
- Completing a dungeon will give you 20 Renown points.
- Items rewards which are not tied to the Smart Loot system. This is dependent on the monster type (monster family) in the dungeon. A great way to farm items for other classes on your account.
