Tired of Diablo 4’s current season? Well, we now have a date for when the next one drops, as Blizzard announced that Diablo 4 Season 2 “Season of Blood” will kick off this October 17!

This was revealed during today’s gamescom Opening Night Live, where we also got a new trailer.

What’s incoming for Diablo 4 Season of Blood:

• Five (5) new and returning endgame bosses
• Updates to renown rewards
• Updates to gem and stash storage
• Updates to resistance and status effects

Update: Blizzard has sent over the press release and announced the following as part of Diablo 4 Season 2:

Season of Blood is about combatting the rise of vampires in Sanctuary while harnessing their power for your own and Gemma will be voicing the lead character, Erys the Vampire Hunter. With her help, you can embrace new supernatural powers in order to protect Sanctuary from the vampire threat and ultimately face off against the vampire lord. In addition to new Vampiric Powers, there will be a new Questline to uncover, 5 endgame bosses able to target specific Unique and Ultra Unique items as a drop, and additional quality-of-life updates listed below.

QUALITY-OF-LIFE UPDATES

• 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 include Vulnerable, Overpower, Critical Strike Damage and Elemental Resistances.
• All updates in the above and the ability to target specific Unique and Ultra Unique items as a drop will be available in both Seasonal and Eternal Realms.

Same as in Season 1, we should be getting the patch notes ahead of the season kick off, and once we know more about that, we’ll let our readers know.
