Past <em>Diablo 3<\/em> Season lengths have varied widely: Season 28 is the record holder for the longest run at 28 weeks and two days (about seven months), while Season 2&#8217;s two-month runtime seems like a blip. Now, in addition to recycling\u00a0<em>D3<\/em> seasonal themes, the seasons will rotate about every three months.<\/p>\n<p>That rotation began with Season 30, which started on Friday, January 12, a 12-week (and two-day) runtime put us right at April 7, so the game is sticking right to that three-month runtime. (Yes, three months could also mean 13 weeks; however, using a little over 12 weeks fits in roughly four seasons a year and better aligns with the <em>Diablo 4<\/em> release schedule.)<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll see if <em>Diablo 3<\/em> continues to stick with this quarterly rotation, but for now Season 30 is winding down, and you only have a few more days to finish any seasonal goals. \u2014 so get to it.\u00a0You have until <strong>Sunday, April 7<\/strong> to complete anything you have left in Season 30.<\/p>\n<p>See you in Sanctuary!<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally published January 22, 2024; updated April 3, 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watchers, welcome to\u00a0Diablo 3 Season 30: Lords of Hell.
