Sadly, us Diablo 4 fans must wait just a little bit longer, since Season 2 is delayed due to technical issues. As of right now, we’re not sure what these technical issues are, but Patch 1.2.0 is at least live. Diablo 4 Season of Blood was supposed to arrive alongside the Patch 1.2.0 on October 17 at 1PM EDT, but it seems like the launch didn’t work properly.
In a Twitter/X post on the Diablo account, Blizzard announced that it encountered some complications while trying to launch Season of Blood. This led to Diablo 4 Season 2 getting delayed by a few hours due to unknown technical issues.
We've encountered some complications and will be delaying Season of Blood’s start time a few hours to remedy these issues.
We'll share updates as soon as we have them. We appreciate your patience.
Blizzard also said it would share more news and updates as soon as possible. As for Season 1, I remember that having a pretty smooth launch. A few hour delay sounds like a big deal, but in the grand scheme of things, Season 2 should launch in no time.
Although Patch 1.2.0 launched and updated perfectly fine, if you try to create your Seasonal character in Diablo 4, currently you’re not able to choose a Seasonal Realm. There’s only the Eternal Realm available, which doesn’t apply to Seasons and is essentially the base game.

For now, we’ll just have to wait for updates, and hope that Season 2 still launches sometime today. Although I’m not technically-knowledged in game launches, I do know how difficult it can be to launch a game update smoothly. Some players are also experiencing issues like Error Code 300010, or even server disconnects, as I can tell from the Twitter/X replies.
