Blizzard has announced Diablo 4 Season 1, titled Season of the Malignant, which is slated for release on July 20, 2023. Check out more details, such as new content and Battle Pass, below.
According to Diablo IV developer Blizzard, they are kicking off the start of their long-term content schedule with the very first season of Diablo IV, Season of the Malignant.
Associate game director Joseph Piepiora, lead game producer Timothy Ismay, and associate director of community Adam Fletcher, on a dev update video, talked about what's coming this season, including a brand-new questline with new faces and new enemies, new powers, the first Season Journey, and the first Battle Pass.
In the same way that previous Diablo games did, seasons offer all players the chance to begin the Season Journey anew with the newly added features and gameplay mechanics. With everyone on an equal footing, players can experiment with classes and character builds they've been curious about or travel through the season with a favored class/build while engaging with the seasonal mechanics for a new experience.
It is not necessary to start from scratch when leveling up a new character, as it inherits the renown obtained from discovering the map and the benefits from the Altars of Lilith. If you have unlocked the mount, you will also be able to use it on your new character immediately. After the conclusion of each season, all characters will be transferred to the Eternal Realm, where Diablo 4 players will be able to access them permanently.

No Prior Experience Required: New players will be able to jump into seasonal realms and play through the main campaign as they learn the basics and then go straight into the season content and new systems introduced.
