Diablo 4 Will Offer XP and Gold Gain Bonuses This Coming Weekend

mmorpg.com:

Diablo 4 Is offering some special gold and XP bonuses this coming weekend, starting on September 1st.

For those who decide to spend some time in Sanctuary from this coming Friday through Tuesday morning, all players will be able to take advantage of a 25% boost in XP and gold gain. The bonus starts on September 1st at 10 AM PDT, and ends at 10 AM PDT on September 5th.

In the US, it is a long weekend, so there could be some extra time to have fun getting deep into the demonic slaying for these boosted rates. When you log enduring the bonus time, you'll see a new in-game icon that will be displayed next to your potion count. This will show the increase in gold and XP rates. The bonus will apply to Seasonal Realms, Eternal Realms, and all World Tiers, so this will be something you can take advantage of no matter where you are in your Diablo 4 enjoyment.

As August rolls into September, the Season of the Malignant continues. This bonus is also a good boon for those who need to do some catching up or maybe haven’t been slaying enough demons on their Season run, or even Battle Pass. It is, after all, just a matter of time before September leads into October and Diablo IV’s second Season. 

Season of Blood will begin on October 17th, as Blizzard revealed at Gamescom last week. With that update there will be five new and returning and game bosses. Season 2 will also have updates to several features like renowned rewards, gem and stash storage, and resistance and status effects. All this joins new story content andhere will be new story and the brand new companion, a Vampire Hunter named Erys, played by actress Gemma Chan.
