 but it definitely fits in with the season's theme of corruption. Teased on the official Diablo 4 Blizzard website are the '30 new Malignant powers to wield' regardless of the class you play as. These weren't fully detailed during last week's livestream, but will almost certainly come in handy when the time comes to fight Varshan the Consumed.

The teasing for Diablo 4’s debut season, Season of the Malignant, has started with the release of a new gameplay trailer
In advance of Season of the Malignant’s arrival in Diablo 4 on Thursday, July 20, Activision Blizzard has offered a glimpse at the debut season’s new content â including its boss.
After what seemed like an age, Activision Blizzard finally rewarded the patience of Diablo 4 players last week by unveiling Diablo 4 Season 1 in a developer update live stream that offered countless details about what to expect. It’s officially called Season of the Malignant and is set to arrive on Thursday, July 20, bringing with it all-new content â and the teasing has already begun.
The new Diablo 4 gameplay trailer released places emphasis on the new Malignant tier monsters, whereby players are encouraged to track them down and defeat them in order to acquire Malignant Hearts, which can then be slotted into fresh gear items unlocked as part of the Seasonal Journey. Said Seasonal Journey will be available to access for anyone who’s beaten the main campaign and is willing to create a new character.
Most interestingly in the gameplay trailer, though, is our first proper look at Varshan the Consumed, the big new boss battle coming as part of Diablo 4 Season 1. They appear to be a floating, ghoul-like figure capable of summoning an inky black wave of some sort â not too dissimilar to the boss fight against Lilith’s Lament that occurs towards the end of Act 1 in the main campaign. The snippet in the gameplay trailer is very short (glimpse it at the 0:23 mark) but it definitely fits in with the season’s theme of corruption.
