Diablo 3 Season 28 is inevitable.

Diablo 3 Season 27 is almost upon us, so here’s everything you need to know about your next descent into the Burning Hells below Sanctuary.

As Diablo 3 Season 26 starts to fade away into an Echoing Nightmare, all eyes are on the game‘s next season, Season 27, details of which are slowly starting to emerge from the shadows.

While there’s still some of Season 26 to go until Season 27 starts to emerge, here’s what we know for now. This includes when Season 26 is likely to end when Season 27 is likely to start, and what the theme for the next Season could be.

Diablo 3 Season 27: Angelic Crucibles

The theme of Season 26 was a game mode called Echoing Nightmare, which is likely to end with the current Season. In its place, Season 27 will introduce Angelic Crucibles.

These will be new items that can be farmed and used to reforge legendary gear. It essentially allows the player to reroll the item’s affixes, changing them to perfect stats – so we imagine these items will be highly sought after.

Once modified, the item will then gain one of three new “Sanctified Powers” coming to Season 27. Here’s a breakdown of how they’ll work:

Angelic Crucibles and Sanctified Items can only be acquired in Seasonal play and will not transfer to your non-seasonal character when the season ends.
Angelic Crucibles can drop anywhere in Sanctuary at level 70.
Players can obtain as many Sanctified items as they would like, however, only one Sanctified item can be equipped at a time.
Sanctified items can be Sanctified again using another Angelic Crucible.
No stats are preserved when Sanctifying an item.
Only level 70 equippable items can be Sanctified—crafted items cannot be Sanctified.
Followers cannot equip Sanctified items.

Blizzard Entertainment

The Necromancer and the other 6 classes will all receive Sanctified Powers in Season 27.

Sanctified Powers: Season 27

Here’s a breakdown of Sanctified Powers based on each character class in Diablo 3 Season 27:

Barbarian

Whirlwind pulls in and holds all enemies within 25 yards.
Hammer of the Ancients hits in all directions around the Barbarian. Every seventh cast of Hammer of the Ancients unleashes a powerful shockwave.
Hitting enemies generates stacks of Tempest Rhythm. Activating Wrath of the Berserker consumes 50 stacks of Tempest Rhythm and startles enemies within 16 yards, causing them to take 0.5% increased damage per stack for 10 seconds. Max 100 stacks.

Crusader

Blessed Hammer now crackles with energy damaging enemies within 15 yards of its path. All runes but Dominion now throw the hammer in a direct path in front of the Crusader.
Every two seconds, call down Fist of the Heavens on a random nearby enemy.
After casting Falling Sword, you descend from the sky with two Archangels that wield immense holy skills and benefit from your holy damage skill modifiers.

Demon Hunter

Strafe now casts the last non-channeled Hatred spending ability casted.
Casting Vengeance unleashes a barrage of rockets that deal damage equal to a percentage of an enemy’s current hit points. The percentage per rocket is reduced if the enemy is an Elite or Boss. This effect cannot occur more than once every 60 seconds.
Firing Cluster Arrow concentrates its explosive force into a piercing ray of light.

Monk

Casting Wave of Light now summons a bell at the target location that deals damage when the caster attacks the bell. Up to seven bells can be active at one time.
All Way of the Hundred Fists combo punches use the second stage combo punch.
The target of your Seven-Sided Strike is barraged with spiritual punches for 15 seconds. This can only affect one enemy at a time.

Necromancer

Your Golem now picks up corpses within 20 yards. Each corpse it stores allows you to cast any corpse spending ability with the max number of corpses consumed per cast. Up to 30 corpses can be stored.
Enemies within 50 yards are constantly assaulted by the Army of the Dead – Unconventional Warfare while this item is equipped.
Hitting enemies with Death Nova five consecutive times adds a spirit that afflicts an enemy every fifth cast of Death Nova. Up to three spirits can be sent at a time.

Witch Doctor

Five seconds after casting Haunt, all Haunted enemies within 50 yards are pulled to the Witch Doctor.
Horrify becomes an aura that causes enemies to receive 15% more damage and deal 15% less damage in addition to its other effects.
Your Gargantuan spreads Locusts Swarm to any enemy within 16 yards and summons Zombie Dogs periodically. Zombie Dogs now gain every rune when summoned.

Wizard

Casting Storm Armor sends a power thunderbolt from the skies that instantly kills a random enemy within 30 yards. Bosses are not killed but take significant damage. This effect cannot occur more than once every 60 seconds.
Arcane Orb now periodically spawns up to four orbiting charges that will generate an additional orb when cast. All charges from the Arcane Orbit rune now detonate at the same time.
Magic Missile fires 20 missiles and gains the effect of the Seeker rune.

So that’s everything we know so far about Diablo 3 Season 27, from when it starts to its theme and limited-time game mode.

Diablo 3 Season 27: Start Date, Release Time, Seasonal Theme, and More

August 27, 2022

NOTE: Diablo 3 Season 27 is now live.

If Diablo Immortal isn’t quite doing it for you, don’t worry, because the Diablo 3 Season 27 Release Date is fast approaching. On this page, you’ll find all the important details about the next Diablo 3 season in one place. We’ll also use this space to countdown until the Season 27 start time, with all the latest news as we get it. For now, read on for everything you need to know about Diablo 3 Season 27.

When Does Diablo 3 Season 27 Start?

Update: The Diablo 3 Twitter account has confirmed that Season 26 ends on August 21 (A Sunday) and that Diablo 3 Season 27 will start on August 26 at 5 p.m. PDT/CEST/KST.

At the time of writing, there is no confirmed release date for Diablo 3 Season 27. However, based on what we know about the way Diablo 3 operates, it’s not too hard to work out when Diablo 3 Season 27 will start.

For those new to the game, Diablo 3 seasons typically follow a pretty rigid formula. For instance, each Diablo 3 season will normally last 12 weeks as a bare minimum. That being said, more recently Seasons have lasted a lot longer. Both Season 23 and 22 ran for 18 and 15 weeks respectively, and Season 24 lasted 19 weeks. Blizzard also routinely end every season on a Sunday, with new seasons always starting on a Friday. Given the developers rarely deviate from this pattern we should be able to give a decent estimate on when Season 27 will start.

Here comes the math. Since Season 26 started on April 15, if we assume it was to last 18 weeks, it would end on 21 August 2021 (a Sunday). This would mean Diablo 3 Season 27 would start on 26 August 2022 (a Friday). Of course, it’s possible that the season could last longer, so we may even see Season 27 start at some point in September if the developers require more time to test the new season on the PTR.

What time will Diablo 3 Season 27 Start?

Update - on August 26 at 5 p.m. PDT/CEST/KST

Although we’re still a little hazy on the day Season 26 will start, every new Diablo 3 season always starts at the same times around the world. Players should expect Season 26 to start at 5pm PDT in North America, 5pm CEST in Europe, and 5pm KST in Asia.

It’s also worth noting that typically the launch times will vary depending on if you’re playing on PC or Console. Diablo 3 console gamers might have to wait a little longer, with Season 26 possibly launching at 1am GMT the following day.

Diablo 3 Season 27 Season Theme

For the sake of anyone who doesn’t know, Diablo 3 has a new season theme with every new season. Sometimes these are more permanent, like the follower revamp in Season 23. On other occasions, these changes only last for one season, such as Ethereal Weapons in Season 24, or the Soul Shards in Season 25.

Diablo 3 Season 26 gave us another perm addition with the brand new ‘Echoing Nightmare‘ activity. ~~At the time of writing it’s not been announced what the Seasonal Theme of Diablo 3 Season 27 will be, but we’ll be sure to update this page as we get more intel.~~

Here’s what you need to know about the Season 27 Season Theme:

Season 27 introduces a new type of consumable item called Angelic Crucibles. Once uncovered by Nephalem, these heavenly artifacts can be used to Sanctify any equippable Legendary item. Sanctifying an item reforges it to have perfect Ancient-level stats on all affixes while also preserving the item’s Legendary Power. In addition, this process adds one of three new powers unique to each class.

Season Theme Details:

Angelic Crucibles and Sanctified Items can only be acquired in Seasonal play and will not transfer to your non-seasonal character when the season ends.
Angelic Crucibles can drop anywhere in Sanctuary at level 70.
Players can obtain as many Sanctified items as they would like, however, only one Sanctified item can be equipped at a time.
Sanctified items can be Sanctified again using another Angelic Crucible.
No stats are preserved when Sanctifying an item.
Only level 70 equippable items can be Sanctified—crafted items cannot be Sanctified.
Followers cannot equip Sanctified items.

Details on the three Class-Specific Sanctified Powers can be found on the link.
