▍About Diablo 4’s Season of Blood
At the behest of their dark master, a newly turned army of ravenous vampires has set their sights on Sanctuary. The master’s sinister plot remains a shrouded mystery but their pursuit for the blood of innocents has caused an uproar. You must learn to hunt the hunter—your fate depends on it.
Season of Blood introduces a new questline for players, and the addition of Vampiric Powers to wield against your enemies. These will come in handy as the game will also include 5 new end-game bosses, and you can even aim for specific unique and uber drops before taking them an arm to accelerate the grind.
This season will also bring some much-needed quality-of-life changes to the game including:
■ More efficient Inventory management for Gems.
■ Paragon Points, Skill Points, Potion Charges, and Obol capacity upgrades will now carry over into a new Season once achieved with an Eternal or previous Seasonal Realm character.
■ Changes to the functionality of status effects such as Vulnerable, Overpower, Critical Strike Damage, and also Elemental Resistances.
The game will also introduce a new central character, Erys, who is voiced by actress and producer Gemma Chan.
