Diablo 4 introduces its very first Seasonal Journey during the Season of Malignant.

Completing objectives in the Season Journey not only rewards you with Favor - the currency required to claim items on the Battle Pass - but you also get useful rewards for clearing each Chapter of the Journey. You don't usually need to complete all of a Chapter's objectives to move onto the next one, but you do need to complete the majority them.

To help you plan ahead, we've detailed the Seasonal Journey rewards and objects for Season 1 in Diablo 4.
