In Diablo 4, your Season character is approaching retirement in big strides. In just 10 days, it will enter its twilight years.
Why is your Season character retiring? In Diablo 4, most of the game revolves around looting and leveling. To keep it enjoyable in the long run, Blizzard regularly serves up new content that is added to the game with new Seasons or expansions.
However, in every new Season, you have to create a new character and level up again from level 1. Looting and leveling starts again. The characters from previous Seasons are not deleted, they retire and are sent to the retirement home: the Eternal Realm.
In the Eternal Realm, you can still play your old Season characters, but they will not experience new Seasons and the associated new content.
When does your Season character retire? Your “Season 1” character will retire on October 17th, with the start of Season 2, leaving just about 10 days remaining.
When your “Season 1” character transitions to the Eternal Realm, it will take gold, items, and crafting materials with it. Just like the Stat bonuses from the collected Lilith statues, discovered areas of the map, and your weapon and armor transmogs.
However, what your character will not take with it are the malicious hearts from Season 1 that you farmed in the past weeks.
Starting from October 17th, Season 2 will be about vampires. You can see a trailer here:

What does Season 2 bring? In Season 2, everything revolves around vampires, who threaten to plunge Sanctuary into ruin with their insatiable thirst for blood. Accordingly, Diablo 4 has 22 vampire powers in Season 2 for you to utilize.
Additionally, there will be a new quest series and 5 new bosses in the endgame of the action RPG, which aim to provide more challenge.
But before you start the second Season of Diablo 4, you should take care of a few details:
