Season 8 of Diablo 4 launches on April 29, introducing significant changes to the battle pass format. Instead of a linear track, players will encounter a system called Reliquaries, allowing for targeted cosmetic rewards based on personal preference, addressing prior criticisms regarding meaningful rewards and player agency. Senior designer Dan Tanguay noted previous battle passes limited player choices and engagement. The new approach permits players to select from categories without being forced to follow a linear progression.
When designing the new battle pass for Diablo 4, Blizzard aims to enhance player agency and choice, moving away from a linear system to customizable Reliquaries.
Senior game designer Dan Tanguay highlighted the old battle passes suffered from rewards that lacked significance, were overly tied to the seasons, and offered little player agency.
