First season in Diablo 4 — an event for participation in which players create new characters and subsequently get access to the age of content presented by the developers for a limited time period.

What will happen in the first season in Diablo 4
The basis of the season is new content that will reveal to players modified mechanics: some of them will affect the skills and ive talents of classes, others will bring interesting events that reveal the expanses of Sanctuary in a new way.
Items not subject to change:

Skipping Acts of the Main Story Campaign
One of the main advantages of the first and subsequent seasons is the ability to move on to familiarize yourself with new content without having to replay the main story campaign.
New quest chain
Brief description of the new story campaign:
A new type of Lilith's corruption is spreading across Sanctuary - the once calm and safe lands were filled with crazed monsters infected with the plague. They ravage villages, try to infiltrate larger settlements, and destroy every living thing that gets in their way. Together with Cormond, a former priest of the Cathedral of Light, find the main source of corruption and stop the spread of terrible corruption.
The quest chain added during the first season will become available for completion after completing the standard story campaign. Subsequently, it will open the following possibilities:
- Face new main and side missions.
- Enter new dungeons and “closed” areas that you can clear for a decent reward (legendary and relic equipment, as well as additional resources needed to level up your character).
Unique customization
With the introduction of "seasonal" tasks, it is also expected that there will be a unique customization for each class with a limited period for receiving. It can be combined with different types of armor, thereby giving the character an unusual look.
New clothing and weapon skins will also be available in the in-game store. The topic of customization is directly related to "Plague season».
New World Boss
The main seasonal opponent - Varshana the Absorbed — world boss and a corruption catalyst that lives in the plague tunnels, which must be defeated in order to further unravel the mystery of the plague.
New game mechanics
Among other things, the first season will introduce new game mechanics that will allow you to take a different look at the world of Sanctuary. This functionality will not have a serious impact on the balance, but will force players to consider different character builds: this approach was chosen from the desire to create a kind of challenge that would delay the “oldies” and attract newcomers.
Some of the added game mechanics include:
- New Equipment (6 pcs) with new legendary aspects (7 pcs.). After the end of the season, they will also be kept for out-of-season play.
- New achievements with rewards in the form scrolls of amnesia, allowing you to reset the points of the skill tree and the Enhancement for free.
- New elite opponents that will drop plague hearts (white, blue and orange colors). Subsequently, these items can be "purified" and used to endow amulets and rings with various new bonuses.
seasonal hike

The tasks of each chapter differ from each other: some are difficult to complete, while others, on the contrary, may seem too easy.

Season Battle
