Blizzard has finally released the commitment, the launch of the first season of Diablo IV, known as Season of the Wicked, will begin from July 20 and we already have some interesting information to share with you.

One of the most important innovations that the first season of Diablo IV will introduce will be mechanics of corruptionwhich will spread in certain areas and give some of the demons and monsters found there the “corrupted” attribute.

When we defeat the enemies with the “corrupted” state we can get evil hearts which we can use insert them into the holes of our device, just as we would with a gem or a skull. These objects will be much more powerful and, according to Blizzard themselves, will allow us to create new “totally broken” builds.

In order to participate in Season of Evil Diablo IV, we must fulfill an important requirement, we will have to complete the main campaign, i.e. story mode. If we have already done this, we will need to create a new character.

Yes, but we will have to start from scratch we will keep a few useful things, such as areas explored on the map and altars of Lilith discovered. That will give us a little kick, which will make the start of the new season more enjoyable.

Blizzard also confirmed that this first season will have a new set of seven chapters with different objectives and rewards. The combat pass will play a very important role this season, because it will allow us to get different prizes and rewards even in its free modality, although it is clear that if we pay, we will take the best content. premium version.

As expected, the first season of Diablo IV will also introduce a new boss, Varshan the Consumed, as well six new unique items and seven new legendary skins. This, along with evil hearts, will allow us to explore new character configurations and builds, as well as give us the ability to strengthen the build we’re using.

The new season will be available automatically from July 20th to all Diablo IV players regardless of platform, although the patch will start rolling out on July 18th to avoid issues. Once the season ends, all content and our characters will go “out of season”. In addition to the surprise, in order to play each new season, we will have to create a new character.
