"Blizzard Confirms: New Characters Required for Every Diablo 4 Season"

Blizzard has confirmed that a seasonal character is required to progress the game's Season 1 battle pass in Diablo 4, which features free seasons and paid battle passes as part of its live services. The battle pass will give access to additional cosmetics and other features. Players will need to create a new seasonal character to take part in the seasonal questline, mechanics, season journey, and battle pass. Some players are unhappy with this requirement as certain cosmetics and gameplay benefits will not be accessible without a seasonal character. Diablo 4 is available globally for PC and consoles.
