The <em>Diablo<\/em> team dished out details on future Seasons in its <a href=\"https:\/\/news.blizzard.com\/en-us\/diablo3\/23999068\/season-29-visions-of-enmity-preview\">Season 29 preview post<\/a>. In the past, <em>Diablo 3<\/em> Season lengths have varied significantly.\u00a0Season 28 was the longest season in <em>D3<\/em>&#8216;s history with a run time of 28 weeks and 2 days (comparable to legacy <em>Diablo 2<\/em> ladder seasons) \u2014 about seven months. But some <em>Diablo 3<\/em> Seasons have been extremely short: for example, Season 2 was less than two months. In the future, <em>D3<\/em> will have simpler Seasons that highlight &#8220;iconic themes and features from Seasons past&#8221; and rotate about every three months. That will make <em>Diablo 3<\/em> Seasons more similar to <em>Diablo 4<\/em> Seasons, which will rotate quarterly.<\/p>\n<p>However, don&#8217;t expect this new schedule to start just yet. The quarterly Season schedule is set to start after Season 30, so we can only guess at how long Season 29 and Season 30 will last. We already know a good bit about Season 30, which will bring balance changes and the permanent return of the Altar of Rites introduced in Season 28 \u2014 but no dedicated new theme. Future Seasons will follow the same model.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re approaching a new phase of life for <em>Diablo 3<\/em>, but now we know more about what the future holds. Returning seasonal themes may mean returning rewards, with a chance to snag something missed in past Seasons! Stay tuned, we&#8217;ll see you in <em>D3&#8217;s<\/em> Sanctuary for the Visions of Enmity on September 15.<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally published May 10, 2023, updated September 9, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diablo 3 Season 29, Visions of Enmity, will be the last Diablo 3 Season with a fully original theme.
