Diablo 4 Season of the Malignant details

The three biggest changes are the introduction of Malignant Hearts, a Season Journey, and the first Battle Pass.
Evil Hearts
Continuing how Seasons work in Diablo 3, each Diablo 4 Season will include a new mechanic not available in the base game. In the first season of Diablo 4, it’s the Malignant Hearts mechanic, which we’ll be introduced to in a new questline featuring Cormond, a former priest at the Cathedral of Light.
The season of Malignant adds 32 malignant hearts in four categories. You get evil hearts by defeating fully corrupted enemies that spawn after performing a ritual on partially corrupted enemies. The harder an evil creature is to kill, the stronger its evil heart will be.
When you get them, Evil Hearts are then placed in special infested sockets of your jewels instead of normal gems. They work the same way as gems, but Malignant Hearts contains unique new bonuses that can completely change your builds.
To help you acquire more evil hearts, evil tunnels – a new dungeon type – have been added in Season 1. These are replayable and contain evil creatures that are difficult to face, including Varshan the Consummate, a new Boss.
Season Travel and Battle Pass
Season 1 introduces Diablo 4’s first-ever Battle Pass and Season Journey.
Participating in Seasons is free, as is the base Battle Pass tier, but you have to pay £8.39 / $9.88 for the premium tier of the Battle Pass. Keep in mind that the Premium Battle Pass does not contain any in-game energy resources and instead unlocks tiers containing season-specific or premium store-only cosmetics.
