And, when campaign skip finally became available with this year’s Lightfall, Bungie decided to charge $20 for the privilege. Until recently, Bungie has never allowed players to skip the campaign on their alt once they’ve completed it on their mains, which has kept me locked into one character for the vast majority of my career. It’s a smart design decision that will encourage players to try out lots of different classes, and it’s also a nice gesture from the developers that communicates to players how much they respect our time.As a dedicated Destiny 2 player, this Diablo news is bittersweet. Instead, players can simply skip the campaign and get right into the end game.

Diablo’s seasonal model encourages players to play fresh characters every few months, and Adventure Mode provides a lot more freedom and variety to leveling than repeatedly running the campaign would. The Reaper of Souls expansion introduced Adventure Mode, an alternate way to level up your alts and get into the end game grind faster without needing to complete the campaign over and over. “But we never planned on requiring repeat playthroughs per character or even per season.”If you’re a Diablo 3 player, this shouldn’t be that surprising. “I think it's worth playing multiple times,” Adams wrote. You roll as many alts as you’d like and take them through as much or as little of the campaign as you want to, and as long as you have one character that’s crossed the finish line, you’ll always have the freedom to skip to the end. Once you’ve completed the campaign once, you’ll be able to skip the campaign with any of your other characters at any point.

After getting a lot of attention on Twitter, lead quest designer Don Adams chimed in to clarify how the feature works. Blizzard showed off some new Diablo 4 gameplay footage this week, and an observant player noticed a “skip campaign” button on the character select screen.
