Rather, they are moved to the Eternal Realm, a version of Diablo 4 without content from the latest season.īlizzard may face a communication issue when Season 1 launches, as Twitter user pointed out: “Most folks have no idea this is going to happen. It’s worth pointing out existing characters are not “lost” with the launch of Season 1. And I know there’s a ton of people in the same boat. “Gotta be honest, as a new player, I don’t see myself grinding like this again,” said Twitter user “If I have to start from scratch for Season 1 I’m likely done maining Diablo. “The new season mechanics/features come after the campaign is complete so you should focus on completing it now so you can just skip it when the season starts since you only ever need to complete the campaign once.”īut it’s the confirmation that existing characters cannot be used for Season 1 content, and the prospect of grinding a new seasonal character just to take part, that’s got so many Diablo 4 players worried. “No, you should definitely play,” Fergusson replied. You’re saying I should basically not even play this game then right?”įergusson replied to this comment, pointing out that once the Diablo 4 campaign is complete, it can be skipped (you only ever need to complete it once on any character on your account and then you can skip it for any character moving forward). So my current character is only level 11.

“I only have maybe an hour a day to game, if that. “I’m a new Diablo player and a new dad,” Twitter user said. As a result, Fergusson’s clarification sparked a number of comments from concerned Diablo 4 players who feel they’re already being left behind just a few weeks after the game came out.

And it should be noted Diablo 4 is the first game in the series to have a battle pass. While this is how seasons worked in previous Diablo games (players replay the game with each season's new content rather than hitting the ground running with a maxed out character), series newcomers weren’t necessarily in the know.
