Diablo 4 Outlines New Features And Changes Coming In Season Of The Blood
We’re now a little over a month into Diablo 4’s inaugural season and Blizzard is now looking towards the online action role-playing game’s next season. Season 2: Season of the Blood is set to begin on October 17th, bringing new seasonal gameplay features and a brand-new questline where players will deal with a new vampiric threat.
“At the behest of their dark master, a newly turned army of ravenous vampires has set their sights on Sanctuary. The master’s sinister plot remains a shrouded mystery but their pursuit for the blood of innocents has caused an uproar. You must learn to hunt the hunter—your fate depends on it.”
In keeping with the vampiric theme, players will be able to unlock new vampiric powers to wield against the fanged threats and five new endgame bosses. Starting in Season of the Blood, players will also be able to target specific Unique and Uber Unique drops, allowing them to farm endgame items more efficiently.
Other quality-of-life improvements that players can look forward to include better gem inventory management, adjustments to several status effects, and renown rewards that will carry over to future seasons. “Paragon Points, Skill Points, Potion Charges, and Obol capacity upgrades will now carry over into a new Season once achieved with an Eternal or previous Seasonal Realm character,” Blizzard explains.
We’ll undoubtedly hear more about Season of the Blood and its accompanying changes over the next few weeks as part of Blizzard’s promise to be more transparent about future updates. In the meantime, we still have roughly two months left to milk Season of the Malignant for all it’s worth.
