There’s a chance there’s enough interest in the franchise to support three Diablo games… or perhaps the game’s own remastered edition in coming years. After all, Diablo 2 is still going strong 22 years after its launch and just launched Ladder Season 3 for Diablo 2: Resurrected complete with new Rune Words.

While we aren’t holding our breath on a Season 29, it’s also possible that we’ll see future D3 Seasons on a longer timeline, giving Diablo fans something to do between D4 content drops. Whatever comes next, Season 27 will go down as the longest season we’ve seen in Diablo 3 at six months. And D4 excitement is at an all-time high, as we’re likely to see open beta announced this weekend at IGN Fan Fest. We would usually expect Season 29 to start around the time Diablo 4 launches, so we may see Blizzard focus fully on the latest entry in the franchise, which will have its own Seasons. You progress down the tree by sacrificing items - sometimes particularly valuable items, like the Staff of Herding - to the Altar of Rites in order to gain new unique powers.Īnd with Diablo 4 is slated for release on June 6, 2023, it’s possible that Season 28 will be the last update we see for Diablo 3, in which case it’s a pretty good swan song for the 10-year-old game. Season 28: Rites of Sanctuary is one of the biggest updates we’ve seen to Diablo 3 since launch, featuring an extensive new talent tree system. But there’s a new challenge coming soon when Season 28 starts, because the Diablo team has now confirmed that Season 28 will start on Friday, February 24, 2023.

Diablo 3 Season 27 is ending this weekend, so it’s your last chance to enjoy upgrading your gear to Primal Ancient levels through Angelic Crucibles.
