Diablo IV’s Season of the Malignant Begins with Exciting Features
In a significant milestone for Diablo IV, the highly anticipated Season of the Malignant has commenced as part of the game’s long-term content schedule. This new season, which officially launches today, introduces players to a host of thrilling challenges and opportunities within the dark and treacherous realm of Sanctuary. With the arrival of Malignant Monsters and the assistance of Cormond, a former priest of the Cathedral of Light, players can embark on a quest to capture the elusive Malignant Hearts and harness their power for their own advantage.
New Features: Season Journey and Battle Pass
In addition to the captivating storyline and formidable adversaries, Blizzard has introduced two exciting new features: the Season Journey and the Battle Pass. These additions provide players with the opportunity to earn rewards, such as Favor and Season boosts, simply by engaging in regular gameplay. For those looking to enhance their experience further, the Battle Pass offers the option to unlock cosmetic items through a paid tier.
A Level Playing Field: Fresh Start for All
One of the core principles of the seasonal format in Diablo IV is to create a level playing field for all players. Each new season allows everyone to embark on the Season Journey anew, offering fresh features and gameplay mechanics to explore. This presents an excellent opportunity for players to experiment with different character classes and builds they may have been curious about, or to continue their journey with a favored class/build while immersing themselves in the season’s unique mechanics.
Carrying Over Progress and Benefits
It’s worth noting that starting a new character in a season doesn’t mean starting from scratch. Players will carry over their previous renown gained from map exploration and the benefits acquired from the Altars of Lilith. To ensure a seamless transition of renown to the seasonal character, players should first log in with their eternal character that has made the most progress. Furthermore, players who have already unlocked the mount will be able to utilize it immediately on their new character, adding an extra touch of convenience and style to their gameplay experience.
Permanent Access in the Eternal Realm
At the conclusion of each season, all characters will be migrated to the Eternal Realm, where they will be accessible permanently. This ensures that players can retain their progress and continue their adventures even after the conclusion of a specific season.
Diablo IV’s Season of the Malignant represents an exciting chapter in the game’s ongoing evolution, providing players with a fresh and engaging experience. With its captivating storyline, challenging monsters, and enticing rewards, this season is set to immerse players in the dark and dangerous world of Sanctuary. Whether players are newcomers or seasoned veterans, the Season of the Malignant offers an opportunity for all to explore, conquer, and reap the rewards of this thrilling new chapter in the Diablo franchise.
