Diablo IV will include a campaign-skip feature for players who have completed the game’s main storyline at least once, Blizzard has confirmed.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the “skip campaign” button as part of a new “Your class your way” trailer. Blizzard global community development director Adam Fletcher took to Twitter and clarified that players will need to have completed the campaign on one character before having the ability to “skip” the campaign on subsequent characters.

Diablo III eventually introduced a similar system, called Adventure Mode, where players didn’t need to complete the story and instead could level up via completing bounties and defeating monsters in the game’s world. It’s currently unclear what options players who skip the campaign in Diablo IV will have when it comes to leveling up, as bounties, Helltides, and Nightmare dungeons in Diablo IV have been described as endgame activities for level 50+ characters.
