The start date of Diablo 4 Season 1, also known as Season of the Malignant, is just around the corner! This first season of D4 will be players’ first true taste of Diablo as a live-service game. New quests, new monsters, and a battle pass are among some of the new content that players can expect to get in the first season. However, keep in mind that to play the new content, you’ll want to have cleared the base game’s campaign. You’ll also need to be ready to start a different character to play the game as.
As long as you’ve met this condition, though, read on to find out the D4 Season 1 start time & date!
What Time Does Diablo 4 Season 1 Start?
Season of the Malignant (Season 1) of Diablo 4 will start on July 20 at 10 AM PDT/1 PM PDT. As is to be expected with live service content, this time is the same worldwide. Be ready to log in once that time hits, and cross your fingers that the servers don’t go down. Though, let’s be honest, you’re going to want to keep an eye on the Blizzard Customer Support Twitter account.
Once you get in after the Diablo 4 Season 1 start date, this new update brings plenty of new content to grind through and equipment to earn. This includes Malignant Hearts, a piece of equipment that provides “build-altering bonuses,” and come in both class-specific and class-agnostic forms. You can check out the full list on Blizzard’s official news post. There’s a total of 32 hearts for players to generate and take advantage of.
