With everything on offer in Season 1, fans of Blizzard Entertainment's latest release in the Diablo franchise are gearing up for an exciting Diablo 4 Season 2. The trailer for Diablo 4 Season 2 was dropped during Gamescom 2023, showing off what we can expect including vampires. Diablo 4 Season 2 is titled the Season of Blood and will bring some changes to the inventory and Renown systems, along with other features fans have been asking for. Here is all you need to know about the new season including when Diablo 4 Season 1 ends and the Season 2 start date.
Diablo 4 Season 1 End Date
Diablo 4 Season 1 end date will be on 17th October, 2023, which is also the start date of Season 2. Expect the season to go live at 10:00 PDT in the US. For Europe, that's 17:00 UTC while Asian servers can expect to get the update on 01:00 SGT 18th October, 2023. Initially it was thought that the season would end on 9th October, however, the new season’s trailer confirmed the start date of Diablo 4 Season 2.
The new season of Diablo is called Season of Blood and will feature quests related to vampires invading Sanctuary. The new season will also feature a character seasonal reset, new bosses, a new battle pass and more.
So, once Diablo 4 Season 1 ends, all your new characters are going to be moved to the “Eternal Realm,” where players can keep playing with them without getting a Battle Pass or season progress. This system is familiar to classic Blizzard fans but might have been a shock to those who have joined Sanctuary this year.
What to expect in Diablo 4 Season 2?
The new season of Diablo 4 sees a Vampire Hunter companion called Erys added to the game, voiced by actress Gemma Chan.
Players will have to face a new vampire lord as part of the quests. Along with new content, the developers have decided to make some changes to existing systems including updates to Renown rewards, gem and stash storage and changes to status effects including elemental status effects. You will be able to carry over Skill Points, Paragon Points, Potion Charges and Obol capacity upgrades to the new season once achieved with an Eternal or previous Seasonal Realm character. Check out the trailer for Diablo 4 Season 2, which debuted at Gamescom 2023.
Diablo 4 Season 2 launches on 17th October, 2023.
