The new patch rolls out on July 18, but Season of the Malignant in Diablo 4 only starts two days after, which implies that an October 12 launch for Season 2 is very much possible. That being said, an alternate date for Season 2 could be October 12, if the images from the developer livestream are meant to be taken literally. The biggest source of evidence to support this date was unveiled by Blizzard on July 11, as the new Gameplay Guides video showed the official end date for Season 1 being October 9.īlizzard had already stated that a Diablo 4 season is meant to last at least three months, and having a pause of two weeks in-between would line up to the seasonal rotation present in Reaper of Souls. If the dates are meant to be viewed at the start of Season 1, then the launch of Season 2 would correspond to October 26, 2023. One image indicated 98 days, while the other indicated 102 days.

Season of the Malignant is supposed to be the first step towards unlocking that potential, though most fans would argue that the more exciting features are only coming in Season 2. Though Diablo 4 is missing quality-of-life features such as leaderboards, inventory management, world boss timers, as well as an easy way to reset Paragon Boards and Talent Trees, many players believe there's plenty of potential with its combat and open world.

Often compared to Legendary Gems from Diablo 3, Malignant Hearts look to add some excitement to jewelry items by augmenting players with powerful situational bonuses. Diablo 4's first season begins on July 20, and will feature six Uniques, seven Legendary Aspects, and the new Malignant Hearts mechanic.

Diablo 4 is kicking off its post-launch content with Season of the Malignant, but there is a very good chance that players already know when to expect Season 2.
