All the Diablo 4 lovers assemble! Because we are bringing to you some of the greatest updates expected to take place in Diablo 4. If you love playing Diablo 4, then you would want to make sure you get these updates to amp up your gaming experience. So, without any more delay, let’s get started!
What is Diablo 4?
Diablo 4 is one of the most engaging video games you can get your hands on. When it was released, the game neither featured battle passes nor seasons; players only had the option of exploring several open locations, participating in group events as well as delving into the depths of hell to get progressively stronger loot. But folks, you need not worry because Activision Blizzard has promised that the seasons and the battle passes will eventually launch, but you must wait to know more about this.
When we talk about Diablo 4, the game is addictive and fun, but Blizzard Activision is nothing if not a company that follows current video game trends. That means the company developed Diablo 4 with a live service season system and battle pass in mind.
Diablo 4 Release Date:
Soon after Diablo 4 was released, the company which launched it, Activision Blizzard, posted a blog that stated the first season and the battle pass to launch in mid-to-late July. However, we now have a more accurate release update. Can’t hold your excitement? Well, me neither. So, let’s get started to dig more into this.
During a live stream session, it was learned that the Diablo 4 season 1 update will be released on July 20th. However, there has yet to be a current update about when the season will end. But do not worry folks; Blizzard has already confirmed that the Seasonal character will be transferred to the “Eternal” realm when Season 2 begins. The character will be retaining much of the progress you have made, and there are certain season-specific items that will no longer be available at that time. Not only this, we have also learned that Diablo 4 Season 1 will launch on July 20th at 10 a.m. PDT, 12 p.m. CT, 1 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. GMT, and all other corresponding global times (at least according to the team’s current plans). The development team has also indicated that a sizable update patch will be released on July 18, which will be coming ahead of Season 1’s official debut. However, we’re still waiting on more information regarding that pre-season update at this time.
Cost of Diablo 4 Battle Pass:
Like many other battle passes, Diablo 4’s battle pass is divided into two tracks, including a free track and a premium track. For the free one, you would not have to pay a penny, and it includes 27 unlocks. However, you can spend 2,800 Platinum (approximately $25) to purchase the accelerated battle pass. Its function is similar to the premium battle pass, but it automatically unlocks 20 tier worth of rewards. So, if you have purchased the Diablo 4 Ultimate Edition, that version of the game comes with an accelerated battle pass (but only one of them).
As we know that the battle passes are seasonal, so you might have a question in your mind: will you have to purchase a new one each season? However, at the moment, you must purchase a new battle pass each season. But many games give out premium currencies with seasonal battle passes. Hence, you must know that this is not the case with Diablo 4. So, folks, if you want to purchase a premium, you’ll have to purchase it from the shop. If there are any changes to that system, they will likely not be introduced until future seasonal updates.
Note: Folks, you must know that you do not have to purchase a Diablo 4 beta battle pass to access the rest of the updates in season 1. You also do not have to purchase a Diablo 4 open beta battle pass to access the most substantial content on the battle pass. But the only thing that the free players will need to unlock on the battle pass is the premium cosmetic items. You must know that all the other blocks will be available to all the players. This also includes the smoldering ashes available for free and the premium battle pass owners. However, since those smoldering Ash rewards are tied to your Seasonal character’s level, you will not be able to unlock them early simply by spending money on the battle pass. So, if you own a PS5, Diablo 4 is the game for you.
More Updates in Diablo 4:
I know, folks, you all must be stoked to know about the release date of season 1 of Diablo 4. But you must know that each of the Diablo 4 seasons is primarily meant to keep the game alive between premium expansions, and that is especially true with the upcoming season. If you are an active gamer and hold a knack in the gaming world, then you must know that Season of the Malignant will be taking place after the main Diablo 4 campaign. Hence, you will need to complete that campaign with a character before accessing seasonal realms. But anyone who does play on those realms will be witnessing a supreme force that will help corrupt the creatures of the Sanctuary, and do you know what is more? It will be twisting the hearts and turning them into bigger and more dangerous threats.
What’s More?
What is more, what can you expect in Diablo4? Then, let me tell you that the malignant force will afflict everything in the seasonal realm world of Season of Malignant. The season will revolve around a new character which is Kormind, who is the one who is trying to cure this plague. But the main gimmick of Season of Malignant is that it revolves around that threat. All the elite monsters in the game have the chance to spawn as a Malignant version of themselves. These malignant variations are stronger than the usual ones and also sport some of the malignant pustules. You must also know that if the creature is slain, it will drop a Malignant Heart, which can be socketed into equipment like a gem and used to unlock some potentially broken (in a good way) builds and abilities.
