But what is coming in Diablo 4’s Season 1? What awaits in the upcoming “Season of the Malignant”? Unfortunately, the official patch notes have not been released, so many fans are still hoping their wishlist items are coming.
What awaits in Diablo 4 Season 1?
The major portion of Diablo 4’s Season 1 will be the “Malignance” buff. Elite Enemies will have a chance to spawn as Malignant versions of themselves. This means they will be stronger and, of course, have new attacks to deal with.
If you defeat them and loot the Malignant Heart, you can take advantage of the season’s new item. This Cage of Binding will spawn a stronger version of the enemy you bested – alongside a wave of angry minions.
The ultimate reward will be a Caged Heart, which will work similarly to the Legendary Aspects in the base game. You attach them to your gear for powerful new abilities and buffs.
Alongside these, players can look forward to new Legendary Aspects, a Season Pass, and much more. It’s a huge content update, and players can look forward to it all kicking off in earnest on July 20.
Fans will undoubtedly learn more about this update as it approaches the launch date. While the patch will drop on July 18, a few days after, the season will begin, and players will be able to explore Sanctuary in a new, more challenging way.
