Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred: Can You Skip the Campaign?

One of the most memorable parts of Diablo 4 was definitely the campaign. Through all of the different quests, cinematics, and the amazing voice acting, Blizzard took us through one of the best modern ARPG stories ever created. With the Vessel of Hatred expansion coming soon, some players are wondering how exactly the new campaign is going to work once they start their seasonal character. Will you be able to skip the base game's campaign and only play the new one? Can you skip both campaigns and just play the seasonal content? In this article, we are going to answer both of these questions, so you know what to do once the expansion launches!

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred: Can You Skip the Base Game Campaign?

Yes, if you have completed the base Diablo 4 campaign on any of your characters, you will be able to skip it when the Vessel of Hatred expansion launches. Even though most players choose to skip the campaign after they have already seen it, now might be the perfect time to go through it again as a refresher before diving into the continuation of the story in Vessel of Hatred. If you choose to skip the base game campaign, Blizzard has also added a small cutscene to remind players of the events that happened previously.

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred: Can You Skip the Vessel of Hatred Campaign?

No, completing the Vessel of Hatred campaign at least once is mandatory. However, once you have completed the campaign, you will be able to skip it on each subsequent playthrough, similar to how it works with the base Diablo 4 campaign. The new region of Nahantu is also going to have its own set of Renown, which you will have to earn in order to receive the bonuses by completing side quests and dungeons. While we are not sure how long the campaign is going to last, we are quite confident that it will be filled with amazing voice acting and cutscenes, which made the base game story so memorable.

That is everything you need to know about whether or not you can skip either the base game or the Vessel of Hatred campaigns in Diablo 4. Hopefully, the new campaign is as good as the previous one, so each time a new season rolls around, we have to think a bit before clicking the 'skip campaign' button instantly.
