Diablo 4 Season 1, officially dubbed the Season of the Malignant, unleashes new Malignant Monsters throughout Sanctuary. When killed, these Malignant Monsters can drop Malignant Hearts, which will grant new powers when placed into Infested gear sockets.
You’ll be able to get these Malignant Hearts after getting the Cage of Binding, an item to which you’ll gain access during a new questline introduced in Season 1. This questline will ally you with Cormond, a former priest, as you try to stop the spread of the Malignant.
New dungeons, known as Malignant Tunnels, will also appear across Sanctuary. Delving into these Malignant Tunnels will help you gather Malignant Hearts, and you might also find a new boss named Varshan the Consumed.
There are 32 Malignant Hearts to find and use in Season 1, but that’s not all you can expect to change your build. Diablo 4 Season 1 also includes seven new Legendary Aspects and six new Unique items, which could provide drastic upgrades for the various classes.
On top of all that, Diablo 4’s firstBattle Passalso launches with the Season of the Malignant. This contains free rewards, such as armor transmogs and titles, and premium rewards including more armor transmogs, weapon skins, and emotes.
