Season of Blood in Diablo 4. How Blizzard will try to win players back after the failure of the first season

Diablo 4's high-profile launch was followed by a lackluster first season that drew a wave of negative reviews. Blizzard believes it can turn things around

October 17 brings not only the PC release of Diablo 4 on Steam, but also the launch of Season of Blood. Blizzard is placing a big bet on the second season: it is expected not only to attract new players, but also to bring back old ones.

Blizzard published an infographic highlighting the content and changes coming to Season of Blood, including:

• The opportunity to defeat Lord Zir
• 5 new endgame bosses
• The ability to become a vampire and master Vampiric Powers
• New dungeons and world events
• Brand-new cosmetic items
• New Paragon Glyphs, Unique items, and Legendary aspects.
• A vampire hunter questline
• New monster types/variants
• Inventory improvements
• XP gain revamp: reaching level 100 will be ~40% faster
• Improved mount navigation
