It's no secret that Diablo IV can be a pretty compelling game thanks to its fantastic gameplay loop and well-crafted loot system. However, the game's developers have some advice for those who are done with its content: maybe try playing something else.

　　Associate game director Joseph Piepiora offered words of wisdom to this effect during a livestream promoting Diablo IV's upcoming seasonal update, Season of the Malignant. Here's the full quote: "When you’ve reached all the goals and done the things you think are important, take a break." He also said that the people behind the game "do the same" in order to fully enjoy the game, and that a new season launch is the perfect time to check out what you've missed in Diablo IV over the intervening months.

　　Now Playing: Diablo IV | Season of the Malignant | Announce Trailer

　　Diablo IV released to positive reviews from both critics and fans alike, but not all of the feedback has been positive. Some players expressed surprise with Blizzard's decision to require you to create new characters in order to participate in each season. Series general manager Rod Fergusson defended the rule, stating that the developers want each season to be "a fresh start for everybody" and that players have "a starting point together" regardless of total playtime. For more on Season of the Malignant, check out our prep guide. The season goes live on July 20.
