The highly anticipated first season of Diablo 4 is about to commence, bringing exciting gameplay opportunities to players on various platforms such as PS5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC. Titled “Season of the Malignant,” this season is set to begin on July 20 at 6 pm BST in the UK. Season 1 promises an array of captivating features, including a fresh questline, an assortment of Battle Pass rewards, new foes, formidable bosses, intriguing locations, and much more. However, it’s essential to mention that in order to indulge in the seasonal content, players must first complete the main campaign of Diablo 4.
Blizzard provides further details, stating, “Upon the Season’s commencement, simply log into the game, create a new Seasonal character, and dive in! If you haven’t finished the campaign yet, make sure to complete it with one character to gain access to the seasonal content.” Once you’ve completed the campaign with at least one character, newly created Seasonal characters will immediately have access to their Mount and the option to skip the campaign entirely.
Additionally, all Altars of Lilith that you’ve discovered previously will be unlocked, along with the corresponding Renown. The same applies to all areas of the map that you’ve explored before. Blizzard confirms that Season of the Malignant will launch with a free Battle Pass, automatically accessible to all Seasonal characters. Moreover, there’s a premium Battle Pass available for purchase, offering extra rewards, along with an Accelerated Battle Pass that allows you to skip levels.
To progress through the Battle Pass and unlock exciting rewards, players must earn Favour. Favour can be obtained by playing the game, defeating enemies, completing Chapters, and specific challenges within the Seasonal Journey. The Battle Pass features 90 tiers, including 63 premium and 27 free tiers.
Within the Free Battle Pass, players can earn Smoldering Ashes, which can be utilized to enhance seasonal characters by increasing XP gains, improving the chance of obtaining rare materials, and more. Meanwhile, the Premium Battle Pass offers cosmetic items like Awoken Armour Sets, Mounts, and Mount Armour. One of the notable cosmetic sets included is the Coldiron Armour Set.
Customers who purchase the Digital Deluxe and Ultimate Edition bundles will receive one unlock for the Premium Battle Pass. This unlock can be used to access the Premium content in Season of the Malignant or saved for a future season.
Regardless of whether you opt for the Premium Battle Pass or stick with the free version, the Season of the Malignant content itself is available to all players who have completed the Campaign. This thrilling content introduces the Season of the Malignant questline, featuring a host of new monstrous creatures and an invaluable ally named Cormond, a former priest of the Cathedral of Light. Cormond assists players in capturing the Malignant Hearts that empower these grotesque beasts, which can then be converted into powers that alter character builds.
The malignant influence that has taken over the hordes of the Burning Hells must be eradicated before it consumes all of Sanctuary. As players embark on this new Questline, they will confront 30 new Malignant powers, engage in an epic boss battle, navigate treacherous Malignant tunnels, acquire fresh gear, and experience a wealth of other captivating elements.
