Blizzard delays Diablo 4 Season 2 launch by a few hours

Currently, there's no telling when players can access Diablo 4 Season of Blood. It's worth noting that while the Seasonal Realm will be inaccessible, one can still make progress with their characters on the Eternal Realm. However, it's unclear if all the changes that were supposed to go live are currently available.

Some have also reported that they cannot log in to the game on consoles after downloading the new update. Blizzard is yet to provide supposed timings to allow players to access the new seasonal content.

It's also worth noting that, along with the seasonal content, the battlepass is also inaccessible at this point in time. A few have expressed their disappointment as they had cleared their schedule to play the game at launch.

Overall, fans are disappointed that the developers have delayed the Season of Blood due to unforeseeable circumstances. Notably, there seems to be a trend of plagued launches. While this may result from a lack of testing or other reasons, it has caused increased frustration among the players.
