Diablo 4: How to Make a Seasonal Character

The Player Selecting To Make A Seasonal Character

The first step toward making a seasonal character is to select Create a New Character on the main menu. From there, players should select their preferred Diablo 4 class, customize the appearance of their character, and select Finalize. This action will bring players to a menu within which they can pick their desired Gameplay Settings and character name, and they should click Start Game when those fields are addressed.

Upon clicking Start Game, a Hero Realm Selection window will appear, and there are two options from which players can pick. Those options are Seasonal Realm and Eternal Realm, and fans should select Seasonal Realm to create a character that is capable of engaging with the Infernal Legions's new content.

To note, seasonal content is only accessible upon completion of the main campaign, though the game easily lets any player skip the main campaign to get to the new content before the season ends. To skip the campaign, simply select to skip the main campaign option found underneat the Hardcore option when creating your character and start in the post-game with their new level 1 seasonal character.

Diablo 4: How to Start Season 5

After making a seasonal character for Season 5 and either completing or skipping the main story, players will need to travel to Zarbinzet near the southern end of the map. Just to the right of the portal will be Captain Cireska, and talking to her will officially begin Of Lands and Wolves. After Captain Cireska explains the situation, talk to Locran before needing to travel to the house to the south of town.

Before leaving, use the teleport back to town even though its a few feet away, as the game needs to register that you are progressing the quest. Follow the marker to the house in the southwestern corner past town to interact with the reinforced door and meet the main group you'll be working with for the rest of Season 5.
