Season 26 will begin on April 15, at 5PM (PDT/CEST/KST) shortly after our next Diablo III update. Read on to learn more about the season theme and balance changes coming in Patch 2.7.3. We are expecting this update to be released on April 12.

We found inspiration in Orek's warning, "Many Nephalem have stood where you are now, but few succeeded in overcoming the trials."
