Diablo 4’s Season Journey in Season 8 provides you with new challenges and rewards but it looks like things have changed a bit.
There are now fewer objectives but each of these objectives requires that you complete a certain number of tasks to complete them.
This provides you with rewards for each objective that you have finished and once enough has been checked off your list, you can move to the next Season Journey Chapter.
Season Journey Changes (Season 8)
Back then, you would have several Season Journey Challenges to complete, and these would provide you with Favor and rewards for competing in each chapter.
While there are still rewards at the end of the Season Chapters, the rewards for completing the objectives have been changed and now seem to be more rewarding.
Each objective you have for a chapter has multiple tasks and these will be checked off once you complete them until the chapter is finished and you move to the next.

Verdict
The way that the Season Journey Chapters and Rewards have changed has seemed to become a less tedious way to progress throughout the season.
As you progress with your character, you will eventually want to make upgrades when heading to higher tiers to complete each chapter.
You should complete the challenges and collect everything before the end of Season 8 so you don’t miss out on any rewards.
