Past\u00a0<em>Diablo 3<\/em> Season lengths have varied widely: Season 2\u2019s two-month runtime seems like a blip, but Season 28 is the record holder for the longest run at 28 weeks and two days (about seven months). Moving forward, in addition to recycling <em>D3<\/em> seasonal themes, the seasons will rotate roughly every three months.<\/p>\n<p>The quarterly rotation began with Season 30&#8217;s 12 week (and three day) runtime, with five days between 30&#8217;s end and 31&#8217;s start. This cadence fits beautifully within their three month estimate and gives a good gap for the <em>Diablo<\/em> team to rotate seasonal themes.
