- Designing a Season consists of ideas that will:
- Provide fun power fantasies for characters.
- Allow for a really strong and exciting story that can be told as part of the season.
Season 2 will include new Legendaries, new Uniques, and new enemies to fight.
Erys (the protagonist played by Gemma Chan) is a colder, bitter sort of character that warms up over time because she's a vampire hunter and she's helped train other people to be vampire hunters, but they get bit and turn on her. Because of this, she eventually ends up having to put down her friends. Erys does not quite trust the player because of the vampiric powers that we have gained.
" first week of October, we'll have a really big deep dive into the season and what the story means, what are all the mechanics, what are your vampiric powers."
"As you start to level up, level 50 to 100, you'll have these touchpoints where it's going to really test your build, test your character's power. And so staggered throughout that progression from 50 to 100, you can essentially farm these new bosses for an opportunity to get rare drops like Uniques."
The 5 new bosses require a sequence of steps to be able to summon them. It's not just going in and out, farming the bosses repeatedly.
- "The notion of the way that some of the five work is that they actually rely on each other to be able to be summoned into the world."
The details that we have about Season 2 is everything that was shared at Gamescom, but Blizzard will have a lot more detail. "There's a lot more quality-of-life stuff coming."
