Diablo 4 Season 2 is Season of Blood, starts October 17
destructoid.comDuring Gamescom 2023, Blizzard revealed Season 2 for Diablo 4: Season of Blood. It looks like Blizzard will be following the originally promised quarterly release schedule for Diablo 4 seasons. Season of Blood will release on October 17, almost exactly three months after Season of the Malignant.
After a pretty lackluster Season 1, hopefully Season of Blood adds more meaningful content, especially in the end-game of Diablo 4.
The announcement trailer didn’t give us much information, other than that we’ll be accompanying a new character named Erys. Erys is voiced by actress and producer Gemma Chan and leads the effort against a deadly new evil in Sanctuary. Based on the trailer, the new evil seems to be some blood-thirsty vampire-like creatures with extremely pointy teeth.
At the end of the trailer, we get a few quick glimpses of new features coming in Season of Blood. A new questline, new vampiric powers—which will probably replace the existing malignant hearts—and five new endgame bosses. Honestly, the endgame bosses could be pretty exciting, as that’s currently a lacking feature of Diablo 4 compared to other ARPGs like Path of Exile.
Also, it appears we’ll be getting updates to renown rewards, gem and stash storage, and resistances and status effects. Without concrete details it’s hard to know how exactly to feel. But, all of these sound like good things, so I’m excited to find out more.
Diablo 4 Season 2, Season of Blood, will release on all platforms on October 17.
