As Diablo IV inches nearer to its June launch date, Blizzard has revealed battle pass pricing and ways in which the RPG will handle its seasonal content.

As detailed in their latest live stream developer blog, Blizzard outlined the d4 buy items season basics that have a breakdown of rewards and progression. The first season begins in mid to late July, with four seasons planned per year–one per quarter, each set to go on for three months.

Seasons aren't used to expand upon Diablo IV's main narrative; that's being left to its expansions. Instead, it'll give attention to separate, themed content iterating around the base game and introducing "fresh concepts and ideas in the world of Sanctuary." Those concepts include new gameplay mechanics, characters, questlines, items, and balancing tweaks.

With each season, d4 buy items adds seasonal questlines and self-contained stories to your mix. Those quests walk you through new gameplay events tying into the RPG's latest-themed experience. During the stream, Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson added this split on the core campaign's story allowed them to create quests and mechanics "not bound through the campaign."

"You're basically creating questlines on view world that may be completely different and never constrained going without running shoes has to be in regards to the narration degree of story," Fergusson said. "It may be about anything that's interesting you intend to play into in view world."

Diablo IV's quarterly updates are for post-launch adventuring, so you should complete the bottom game before jumping in. After playing through once, every new character can skip the campaign and the seasonal update immediately. Seasons will need a new character, simple fact your older characters continue to be accessible, so they can't participate in these additions.

Every quarter adds a seasonal journey to aid you through Diablo IV's new additions, which include challenges and rewards that actually work towards completing the battle pass featuring its experience point system, Favor. Blizzard's seasonal pass gives a free route to completion, in conjunction with paid routes and other perks.
