Anyone who wants to start playing at the kick-off time will need to update their game first, as there is a small patch that needs to be installed ahead of Season of the Malignant. Be sure to open your Battle.net app and update Diablo 4 so you will be ready to go.

Season 1, titled Season of the Malignant, promises to bring all kinds of new horrors to Sanctuary. A former priest called Cormond also seeks to end this new threat, and he will be our partner in this endeavour.
Defeating corrupted enemies gives you their Malignant Hearts, which you can use to access the 30 new Malignant Powers that you can wield. You will need all the power you can get if you want to take on the brand new world boss coming with Season 1, Varshan the Consumed.
There will also be new items to find, new Uniques and Legendaries, and plenty of new cosmetic looks to unlock.
That is it for the Diablo 4 Season 1 start time, so you can jump on Season of the Malignant as soon as it drops. For more, head to our Diablo 4 homepage, or check out our Diablo 4 Tree of Whispers guide.
