With the first season of Diablo 4 approaching, many players have been speculating how seasons will work in the game, including if they need to create new seasonal characters. Now thanks to a tweet by Diablo’s general manager Rod Fergusson, players have their answer.
In a tweet by Fergusson, he confirms that players will need to create a new seasonal character to access the seasonal content, including the battle pass, and players have had a pretty mixed response to the news.

Seasonal Content Will Require New Characters to Access New Seasonal ContentThis information comes via a response by Fergusson to Twitter user Paul Tassi, explaining how players will access seasonal content, and for many it seems it’s not the answer they were hoping for.
Fergusson confirmed that for players to participate in the seasonal content, which includes seasonal questlines, mechanics, the season journey, and the battle pass, players must create new seasonal characters. This means that with each new season, players will be creating a brand new character to take part in the new content, with that character moving to the Eternal Realm once the season isover for play to continue playing if they choose.
For veteran fans, this won’t be a surprise since previous Diablo games like Diablo 3 followed this same structure, with the idea being players can experience getting stronger and enjoying new content all in one. He also confirmed that playing the campaign on a seasonal character will progress the seasonal journey and battle pass. However, that’s not stopped players from expressing their dissatisfaction with the news.
