Breaking down everything coming in Diablo 4 season 1

destructoid.com:

Players are not happy with the recent 1.1.0 patch for Diablo 4. Yet regardless of the controversy, the first season of Diablo 4, Season of the Malignant, releases later today. The patch was intended as a supplement to all the new features coming with the new season, so be sure to check out the patch notes if you’re interested in the gritty changes.

However, here we’re going to take a look at the new content and features introduced with Diablo 4 Season 1, Season of the Malignant.

As Blizzard promised, the story will move forward with each season of Diablo 4. A new corruption has caused malignant monsters to emerge across Sanctuary. Players will team up with a former priest of the Cathedral of Light named Cormond who has a technique to capture the Hearts of the Malignant Creatures.

In order to embark on this new questline, you must have already completed the campaign. This counts whether you complete the campaign in the new season or if you have already finished it on a pre-season or Eternal Realm character.

You can find Cormond in Kyovashad to begin the new quest.

As you capture these corrupted creatures, they will drop their Malignant Heart. Using a new quest item, the Cage of Binding, you can capture the Malignant Heart to gain its power.

This is the primary special feature of the new season. Each Heart will correspond with one of four unique colors and types. The orange Vicious Heart focuses on offensive power, the blue Brutal Heart on defensive power, the pink Devious Heart on utility power, and the black Wrathful Heart on super power. Each Malignant Heart will have its own effect with 32 possibilities. There are four unique Hearts for each class and 12 available to all classes.
