A Brand New Era for Diablo 4 Begins April 29!

Mark your calendars, gamers! Diablo 4's highly anticipated Season 8 kicks off on April 29, bringing with it a revolutionary update to its battle pass system that promises to change your gaming experience forever.

Introducing 'The Reliquary': A Game-Changer for Players!

Say goodbye to the old battle pass! The new system, titled 'The Reliquary,' restructures how rewards are handled by categorizing them into distinct sections. The core Reliquary will be completely free, featuring eye-catching Town Portal cosmetics, weapon skins, exclusive mount designs, and precious Platinum currency! But that’s not all—special Reliquaries for ornate armor, unique weapons, and adorable in-game pets will also be available for unlocking using Platinum.

Unlock Your Rewards in Any Order—Your Game, Your Rules!

With Favor Tokens, earned through monster slaying and quest completion, you can now unlock rewards in any order you choose. Each Reliquary offers a variety of rewards that players can pursue strategically, with bonus rewards available for those who claim all items in a category. Players can hold up to 99 Favor Tokens at once, with costs ranging from 2 to 10 tokens for various rewards.

Cheaper, Better, and More Engaging!

Each Reliquary is priced lower than the previous battle pass system, with a premium package available that bundles all seasonal Reliquaries for 1,000 Platinum—same as before. It’s a win-win!

Behind the Scenes with Blizzard: Listening to Player Feedback!

In a recent GameSpot interview, Colin Finer, the associate director of game design, shed light on the reasons behind this significant change. "We heard our players loud and clear—previously, the battle pass didn’t feel right for Diablo. It was cluttered with items that didn’t matter to players, and it lacked agency. We want gamers to have control and truly engage with the game, which is why we've revamped this system to align better with the Diablo spirit!"

Embrace the Changes: Seasonal Blessings Evolve!

While the old battle pass system, which granted Smoldering Ashes for seasonal power-ups, has been retired, fear not! Smoldering Ashes and Season Blessings will now seamlessly integrate into the game’s Seasonal Journey, maintaining their benefits just like before.

Gear Up for an Exciting Adventure!

With these fresh updates, Diablo 4 is gearing up for an exciting new chapter! Prepare yourselves for Season 8, where deeper control and tailored rewards await. The battle pass rework is not just a change; it’s an evolution—one that promises a more immersive and player-focused experience!
