The first major patch for Diablo Immortal is finally here and it marks the beginning of Season Two. Aside from new content, the latest update brought balancing changes and bug fixes as well.
A New Season Begins
Season Two of Diablo Immortal is underway and players can now purchase the new Bloodsworn Battle Pass. This new BP features 40 ranks worth of rewards, which include Legendary Gems, Crests, and Hilts, among other things.
Of course, just like the first iteration, two other Battle Pass variants are also available. The Empowered version gives players the fearsome Bloodsworn Weapon cosmetic right off the bat, while the thorn-covered Bloodsworn Armor cosmetic is unlocked at Rank 40.
The more expensive Collector’s Empowered Battle Pass not only gives all the rank rewards offered by the Free and Empowered versions, but also the Bloodsworn Avatar Frame, Bloodsworn Portal cosmetic, and a ten-rank boost.
It is worth noting that the Season Two Battle Pass only runs until August 4 at 3 a.m. server time, meaning that players only have less than 30 days to get all of the rank rewards.
Aside from the new Battle Pass, Vitaath the Shivering Death is sending fear to the hearts of those who battle her in the Helliquary.
