) that Season 27 will remain active until 19 February The already extremely long season will therefore be a whole lot longer.Since Season 28 won”t start until Season 27 is over, we don”t expect it to start until the end of February. The most likely date is currently as follows:
However, should the patch revisions take longer after the PT impressions, March 3 would also be conceivable.
This can”t be said reliably anymore, because Blizzard extends seasons in Diablo 3 quite regularly. Normally it should last about four months, but usually a season lasts about 18 to 20 weeks now. So expect Season 28 to come to an end between June and July 2023.
It may well be that Diablo 3 will fittingly end the Season in June, just before the release of Diablo 4.

Diablo 3”s new season theme is called Rites of Sanctuary and it actually sounds very, very exciting. After all, it basically introduces a new talent tree. To be more precise, it is an altar in the Festering Woods. You can visit this altar with your Nephalem and unlock new bonuses, provided you make an appropriate sacrifice.
This altar of rites has a total of 26 seals and three legendary potion powers that you can unlock gradually. Once an ability has been unlocked, it will be active for the entire season and will affect all of your characters. The skill tree shows that you can choose many paths:
