Blizzard Entertainment finally revealed what is going to be expected for the Season 1 of Diablo IV as more content is heading to the game in the form of Diablo IV - Season of the Malignant.

In the game’s lore, there will be an arrival of a deadly corruption called Malignant and that's infecting everyone and everything throughout Sanctuary. Players will work with a new NPC character called Cormond to battle this corruption and stop it from completely infesting the world.

Diablo Season 1 will bring new Malignant Elite mobs to the game that drop Malignant Hearts you can eventually turn into items that add powerful buffs to your gear. These will get stronger as you progress into the endgame, and players will be able to break them down to create Invokers used for target farming.

Players also have several new Legendary Aspects and Uniques that will be available in both the Eternal and Seasonal Realm. These will be usable in the Eternal Realm on July 18, which is when Blizzard is patching most of the season's content in ahead of its full release.

Season of the Malignant of Diablo IV will start on July 20th.
