It made evident in a blog post made as far back as over a year ago that the developers insisted “you can’t pay for power in Diablo 4” with regards to seasonal content, meaning battle pass tier unlocks are purely cosmetic. Activision Blizzard continues to stress that the Diablo 4 Battle Pass isn’t a mandatory purchase for players who want to enjoy seasonal content, which was revealed in a Diablo 4 Campfire Chat livestream to be happening quarterly – once every three months. One of the few aspects of Diablo 4 Season 1 that has been detailed is the battle pass.

No official start time has been revealed by Activision Blizzard just yet, but it's expected to roll out worldwide simultaneously similarly to how the game launched back at the start of June. Your main goal in the season is to defeat these malignants, because they will then drop malignant hearts that you are then able to insert into special types of gear. It's officially called the Season of the Malignant, and sees the map of Sanctuary changed by an ongoing corruption that will have some enemies in the Seasonal Realm transformed into a malignant variant. The Diablo 4 Season 1 release date is Thursday, July 20.
