In Season 16, Seasonal characters will be under the effect of the Ring of Royal Grandeur’s reduction of needed set pieces to active a specific set bonus - previous Seasons such as the Season of Greed affected all players, Seasonal or not, but this time it’s restricted, giving you another reason to pick up Seasonal play.īut the incoming buffs to various set bonuses are not limited to Seasonal characters, and as of now we’ve heard no feedback indicating that they’ve been changed from their PTR incarnations. We knew already that the Season was coming soon - last month’s PTR revealed that Season 16 will be the Season of Grandeur and that unlike previous Seasons the special nature of Season 16 will only be available to Seasonal characters. Tyvalir posted to the forums that Season 15 will be ending on January 6, and Season 16 will be starting on the 11, some five days later. That seems implausible to me, and my guess (again this is still just a guess) is that S28 will continue into September.With the PTR for Diablo patch 2.6.4 having come and gone this past November, we’re now aware that Diablo 3 Season 15 is ending, and Season 16 has a name and an official start date. So the reason I say 8/20 is a little tight for S28 ending is because to fit that 4-week window we‘d need to see a PTR announcement right as D4 S1 launches. The PTR typically lasts two weeks, and around the end of the PTR we get about two weeks advance notice of the end of the season. Prior to every D3 season end there is a public test realm (PTR) announcement with preliminary patch notes describing the patch balance changes and reworks of gear leading into the new season, plus the upcoming season theme. It also fits pretty well coming a month after the launch of D4 season 1 on July 20th, but it’s a little tight. Right now everyone is just guessing.Ī common guess is August 20th, which is plausible because it lines up pretty well with the 6 month duration of Season 27. We don’t know and won’t know for sure until Blizzard announces the end date.
