When does the Diablo 2: Resurrected season 11 ladder reset start?

For now, our best prediction for the ladder reset for Diablo 2: Resurrected starts around June 6, but since Blizzard doesn’t typically announce the date until a couple weeks beforehand, this is just an estimate. The ladder season will usually reset every three to four months, so after season 10 reset in early March, we anticipated a reset date around the beginning of June. The reset usually falls on a Friday, and we’ll admit that with the whole Diablo aesthetic, a 6/6 date seems apropos — though we wouldn’t be surprised at a slightly later date, either.

Ladder Season 11 will likely be another global release, which means that both the date and the specific times mentioned are important. A global release means that the servers open for everyone around the world at the same moment, even if the time displayed on the clock in their time zone is very different. As such, the start time will bridge two calendar days, because that’s how international time zones work.

D2:R Ladder Seasons basically mimic the conditions of a brand new release of the game. It is a fresh start, with a level one character on one of four different types of servers:

• Classic means you want to play through the first four acts of Diablo 2 originally released with the title.
• Hardcore Classic is the same as Classic, but you are playing a Hardcore character where death is permanent.
• Expansion characters have access to play through the first four acts from Diablo 2 and Act 5 from the Lord of Destruction expansion.
• Hardcore Expansion combine the Expansion experience (all five acts) with Hardcore play (single character life and perma-death). Not for the faint of heart.

The object of a D2:R Ladder Season is to race to level 99 as fast as possible, and in so doing secure your spot on the leaderboard — and eternal glory, of course. That’s why, for many, not only the release date, but the very specific time is important.

Best of luck to everyone beginning their new characters in Ladder Season 11!
