Season 28 end announcement: August 28, 2023.With Blizzard’s forum confirmation of the Season 28 end date, our estimations are getting confirmed! Let’s see if Blizzard can check the box for our final estimation: PTR dates have marked the initial “last call” for the current season in the past. While Season 27’s length set it as the longest season in D3‘s history with a run time of 25 weeks and 2 days (comparable to Diablo 2 Legacy‘s ladder seasons), the’s PTR end date sets up Season 28 for an even longer run of an estimated 28 weeks. This covers our presumed Season 28 end date and leads us to the Septemestimate.

Now we can firm up our guess with the public test realm cycle of August 15 – 29, 2023.

Previously, we based future season start and end dates on past season lengths (confirming them with coming patch announcements), but we’ve expected Diablo 3 to go into maintenance mode after the upcoming release of Diablo 4. So when does Season 29 start? Our guess is Friday, September 15, 2023. Since then, Blizzard announced details for Patch 2.7.6 with PTR dates and the Season 29 theme - “Visions of Emnity” - as well as the Season 28 end date. “We're looking to gather feedback on the solo player content with the Follower system revamp, and the Greater Rift solo leaderboard updates.In a Diablo 4 PR event, the Blizzard team included a delightful tidbit regarding future Diablo 3 seasons - specifically, we will have a unique (although “less rich than Season 28”) theme for Diablo 3 Season 29, and past themes will be revisited starting in Season 30. “To ensure that the most significant class changes receive an ample amount of attention, we'd love for you to focus testing and feedback on the set changes to the Wizard's Firebird’s Finery set, the Necromancer's Bones of Rathma set, and the balance updates to the Demon Hunter’s Gears of Dreadlands set and Witch Doctor’s Gazing Demise. “You can also buy new gear for testing from the special PTR vendor, Djank Mi'em, who will exchange Blood Shards for class-specific bags full of Legendary items that we'd love for you to test. “There will be three PTR-unique buffs active to help you on your journey: increased Legendary drop rate, increased experience gains, and double Blood Shard drops. Here’s some of the stuff that was being tested by Blizzard and what could be coming next to Diablo 3: The Diablo 3 support team have been busy testing out a new version of the game, with PTR 2.7.0 wrapping earlier this week.
