Blizzard's upcoming action role-playing game, Diablo 4, has been in development for quite a while already. The game is scheduled to release next year, and every few months, the development team offers fans something new in terms of game updates.

Seasons were a feature introduced to first Diablo 3 and later to the remastered version of Diablo 2, Diablo 2: Resurrected. According to Blizzard, Seasons are making a comeback in a bigger way than ever. The development team promises up to four Seasons each year, each with its unique quests, enemies, items, and even features. In addition to Seasons, Blizzard is going to offer paid content, like cosmetics and enhanced Seasons experience with Diablo 4 Season Pass.
