Diablo 3 Season 26 started April 15, introducing a new endgame activity for the season’s theme — the Echoing Nightmare — that will persist following the end of Season 26. And while I’m thrilled these incredibly fun free-for-alls (ending in an utter deluge of demonic hordes that blows you up) are sticking around, we know that seasons sadly do not last forever. Thus, we turn to the eternal question — when does Season 26 end?

Diablo 3 Season 26 Seasonal Conquests

Seasonal Conquests are achievements for players who enjoy striving to get as much personal glory and a good spot on the leaderboards in both softcore and hardcore modes.

Avarice and Avaritia task you with obtaining a notable gold streak, while Speed Demon and Need for Speed are all about completing challenging Nephalem Rifts quickly.

On a Good Day and I Can’t Stop focus on leveling Legendary Gems, Divinity and Lionhearted ask you to reach Greater Rift level 75 on your own, while Years of War and Dynasty revolve around different class sets.

Greater Rift Updates

We wanted to improve the Greater Rift experience through quality of life updates, balance changes and addressing community feedback. We reviewed all of the maps and monsters that appear in Greater Rifts and reworked the probabilities overall to make sure players spend more time with the content they enjoy. Less spaghetti and more chickens!

Orek's Dream: Greater Rifts have a small chance to roll as Orek's Dream. These dreamlike rifts have a curated list of maps and monster compositions.

What are the Diablo 3 Season 26 seasonal cosmetic rewards?

Season 27 Theme

In Season 27, Light’s Calling, valiant Nephalem can recover Angelic Crucibles, a new season-exclusive consumable item, that can be used to Sanctify equippable Legendary items.

By Sanctifying an Diablo 2 Resurrected Items , players infuse it with one of three new, random class-specific powers, such as the Wizard’s spellbinding Magic Missiles shown above. Angelic Crucibles will allow you to lean into the strengths of each class and highlight what makes each of them shine. A full list of potentially receivable class powers can be seen in our blog. Which power will your Sanctified items bring you?
