Summary
- Blizzard will make Welcome Back Booster permanent in Diablo 4 Season 7.
- Season focuses on Witchcraft, exciting Diablo 4 fans.
- Booster provides instant boost to Level 50, which is useful for gamers in the new Season.
Blizzard has confirmed that it is making the Welcome Back Booster a permanent addition to Diablo 4's upcoming Season 7. The Welcome Back Booster was first introduced in the middle of Diablo 4 Season 6, but will now be available right from the start this time around.
Season 7 of Diablo 4 is set to bring a whole host of changes, which should be set to make it Blizzard's best offering in the game to date. News about the Season trickled out over the last few weeks, with it set to focus heavily on Witchcraft, which fans have been wanting for a little while now. It was recently revealed that Blizzard is making a big change to the Paragon system in Diablo 4 Season 7, reiterating that many of the gameplay alterations seem to be centered around quality of life this time around. At this point, Diablo 4 is in a very good state, so focusing on quality of life is definitely a good move.
One Diablo 4 Achievement May Be Impossible to Unlock
One of Diablo 4's achievements requires players to perform a feat so unimaginable, it's hard to believe that anyone will ever be able to acquire it.
In the blog post revealing Diablo 4's Season of Witchcraft, Blizzard revealed that the Welcome Back Booster "is here to stay." This gives returning players the ability to immediately boost their characters to Level 50, skipping much of the early game grind. It also complements this with a full build, complete with items to complement it. The feature made its first appearance mid-way through Season 6, although it was only touted as a temporary addition. Evidently, the Season 6 test went well, and this is one Diablo 4 quality-of-life change that players can't live without.
Diablo 4 Welcome Back Booster Contents
- Boost to Level 50
- Three builds from the chosen class, with a completed Skill Tree
- Full set of Legendary items
- All Altars of Lilith unlocked
- 1 million gold, 1000 Obols, one Scroll of Amnesia, and various crafting materials
Ultimately, this is great for many different types of gamers. Some fans simply don't have the time to grind a new character all the way from Level 1 every single Season for various reasons, but still want to experience Diablo 4's end-game content. This is where Diablo 4 really shines, so it would be a shame for players to miss out due to time constraints. Other veteran players who do have the time simply don't want to - as Diablo 4 goes on, the content becomes more challenging. Going back to that early-game grind could be really boring for these players, which is why the Welcome Back Booster is so helpful in this scenario.
With Diablo 4 Season 7 just around the corner, it will be exciting to see what other changes Blizzard has made to improve the game from its current state. It's worth remembering that even Diablo 3 is still getting new Seasons, so support for Diablo 4 should be set to continue for a very long time to come. It's a bright future ahead.
