Get ready, gamers! Diablo 4 is taking a thrilling turn in its upcoming Season 2, swapping the spooky Malignant theme from Season 1 for an exciting vampire-themed adventure. Here's the lowdown on what's coming up in the "Season of Blood."
While we're all eagerly waiting for more extensive Diablo 4 add-ons, the game makers are keeping things fresh. They're building on all the cool stuff from Season 1 and adding new twists and content to keep us hooked.
So, what's "Season of Blood" all about? It's not your typical DLC - it's more about giving us a fun, new spin on the game we love. And the big news? Vampires are back!
When's It Starting?
- Mark your calendars! "Season of Blood" kicks off as soon as Season 1 wraps up, on October 17, 2023.
- You'll need to start with a new character, but if you've already beaten the main quest, you can skip it this time around and dive right into the new stuff.
What's New in Gameplay?
- Season 2 isn't just about a vampire theme; it's also bringing a whole new questline. Get ready to blend your equipment with vampire powers and grab some wicked vampire-style gear.
- Beyond the new theme, Season 2 spices things up with extra side missions. Vampires aren't just for show – they're a new menace you'll have to face.
- Meet Erys, a vampire hunter you can team up with. She made her debut in the Gamescom trailer and is voiced by the talented Gemma Chan. Looks like she's going to be a big deal in Season 2!
- Love a challenge? Good news! There are 5 new endgame bosses to test your skills against.
- Also, the game's team is tweaking some of the less useful Resistance stats in Season 2, making your battles even more intense.
Is There a Seasonal Reset?
- Yep, we're starting fresh again with Season 2, just like we did after Season 1.
- Don't worry, though - you won't lose your existing characters. They'll keep all their gear and progress but will shift to being regular, non-seasonal characters, just like what happened in Diablo 3.
- Ready for the new content? You'll need to create a new character when Season 2 rolls around. Transferring or upgrading characters from Season 1 to Season 2 isn't an option.
So, gear up, vampire fans! Season 2 is bringing the blood, the thrills, and a whole lot of vampire action. It's time to dive back into Sanctuary and show those vampires who's boss!
