Diablo 4 Season 2: Season of Blood – Release date, gameplay changes & more
Seasons add more content to Diablo 4, but expansions will add more substantial updates.
Diablo 4 Season 2 has been revealed to be a vampire-themed adventure and a big shift from the Malignant theme from Season 1. Here’s everything we know about Diablo 4: Season of Blood.
While fully-fledged Diablo 4 DLC could still be a while away, the devs are still hard at work maintaining all the changes made by Diablo 4 Season 1. However, to maintain player interest and to ensure adventuring in Sanctuary continues to be fun, Diablo 4 Season 2 will show off some new tricks – and some new content.
Diablo 4: Season of Blood isn’t DLC in the traditional sense, as Diablo seasons usually just offer a fun new way to play the game. However, season 4 will give us some new content to sink our teeth into as vampires make their return in a big way. Here’s everything we know so far.

Diablo 4 Season 2 start date
Diablo 4: Season of Blood will be starting right as Season 1 finishes up on October 17, 2023.
Players will need to start a new character, however, if they’ve already completed the main quest, this will be skippable in Season 2. That way, players can jump straight into the seasonal content.
Diablo 4 Season 2: Gameplay changes
Diablo 4 Season 2 will add a new questline involving vampires, fusing your gear with vampire powers, and cool new vampire-themed gear.
While seasons generally just offer a new theme and way to play the existing game with a range of fun rewards, it looks like Season 2 will add a new set of side missions with vampires becoming an additional threat to deal with.
Players will be able to recruit a vampire hunter follower called Erys, who was shown off in the Gamescom trailer. Erys will be voiced by Gemma Chan and looks like she’ll have a significant role in Season 2

It was also revealed that 5 new endgame bosses are coming along with the grind, giving players more challenging endgame content to tackle.
Additionally, they will be amending “inferior” and “subpar” Resistances in Diablo 4 Season 2 and it looks like this will be taking place in the second season.
Will Diablo 4 Season 2 have a seasonal reset
As with Season 1, expect a complete seasonal reset once more in Diablo 4 Season 2.
Once again, any characters from the main game will not be wiped, as Season 1 ends, characters will keep all their gear and progress, but will become just regular non-seasonal characters – much like they did in Diablo 3.
However, to enjoy the new seasonal content you will need to make a new character when Season 2 begins. Players will be unable to transfer their Season 1 character to Season 2 or upgrade a non-seasonal character to a seasonal character.
That’s all for Diablo 4 Season 2 and the early information surrounding it. Make sure you keep checking back for the latest developments and details. For more on the RPG, take a look at our other guides:
