Season 27’s length prepared the D3 community for maintenance mode as we look forward to Diablo 4. An end date of August 20 lands us right at the six-month cycle we know from Diablo 2 ladders after the release of Diablo 3.

And then Season 27 threw a rock into that cycle’s window with a runtime of six months. After that, the 18-week average became the norm. Seasons 5 through 20 averaged 12.5 weeks, but we started experiencing longer windows in Season 21 in mid-2020 as teams adjusted to working from home. Season 24 - Started July 23, 2021, ended December 5, 2021.While D3 seasons don’t have a set length, they were previously somewhat consistent in their run time: So let’s dig into why I think the Season will end in late August.

Whether you’re enjoying the Altar of Rites and its insane power-ups or you’re already waiting for something new, let’s take a look at when Season 28 might end. My estimate? Season 28 will end on Sunday, August 20, 2023.īut Blizzard hasn’t announced a Season end date - and likely won’t until we’re much closer. Diablo 3 Season 28: Rites of Sanctuary is now live, and even though the Season is brand new we’re already thinking about how much time we have.
