Since you’ll need to create a new seasonal character in order to enjoy Diablo 4’s fifth season, you’ll need to decide whether to skip the campaign or replay the story. There are pros and cons to playing through the campaign and skipping it, and the best choice depends on how you want to spend your time in season five.

Yes, you should skip the campaign in Diablo 4 Season 5. The benefits of skipping the campaign far outweigh the benefits of replaying it. That said, it’s not a slam dunk, of course. I’d recommend replaying the Diablo 4 story campaign if you honestly don’t remember some of the key missions and bosses, or if you want to hone your new class’s skills in a more controlled environment.

I plan on skipping the Diablo 4 season 5 campaign because I want to dive right into the new content. I find that I can level up much faster outside of the story campaign where I can play and level up as I please.

If you choose not to skip the story and delay the Season of the Infernal Hordes, you will need to complete every campaign mission. While you will have access to some of your Aspects in the Codex of Power, you will also need to find new gear for your character and level them up.
