When beginning Season 3 of Diablo 4, you'll be asked the question of whether you want to skip the campaign or go through it all over again with a new character - but what's the best choice?

Diablo 4's seasonal content requires you to create brand-new characters, allowing you to experiment with classes, builds, and new content added to the season, like Journey rewards. This means you need to either play the whole story again or find other ways to level up, but what's the best option to pick when beginning a new season in the game?

Should I skip the Diablo 4 campaign?

If you're looking to get right into the new seasonal content when it launches, it's best that you skip the Diablo 4 campaign. Otherwise, you'll have to spend hours plaything through it again before you see anything new.

The main question when making the choice relates to levelling up, as the campaign does offer a straightforward and simple way to get to the required level 50 and begin the new endgame content that's introduced during a season.

However, skipping the campaign in favour of the Whispering Tree, Season Journey, dungeons, and events is more efficient for levelling up, allowing you to earn XP much quicker.

You can also do the hybrid choice of playing parts of the campaign and skipping ahead to other content once you feel like you've levelled up enough. 

Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference, but hopefully, the above information should help you on the way.
