Now, after you have made your custom character click on the Finalize section. Select the "Skip Campaign" checkbox if you have completed the main story and start the seasonal content as fast as possible. Type the name you want to give to your character, and then click on "Start Game."

Select the Seasonal Realm to experience all the new updates launched in the Season of the Malignant. It will also contain the default gameplay experience of Diablo 4. The Eternal Realm will not have any new Season content in it.

Select the World Tier in the next section out of the two - Adventurer and Veteran. Adventurer is for those who are new to Diablo 4 and want light challenges, whereas Veteran is for those who are experts in the game and are looking for a challenging experience. Finally, press start, and you will be queued for the game to begin.
