When does Diablo 4 Season 10 end and Season 11 begin? Prepare to tackle the Lesser Evils beginning December 11!

Diablo 4 Season 10, the Season of Infernal Chaos, has been an absolute blast for players, especially those who like to experiment with different Legendary items (courtesy of Chaos Armor). Sadly, the wheel of time and seasonal cycles continues onward, so we must ask — when does Season 10 end, moving into Season 11? Thanks to Blizzard’s season blog post, we know that Season 11, Season of Divine Intervention, goes live on December 11 at 8:30 pm PST and are looking to confirm if Season 10 is rolling over directly into it.

Season 11 is the first since Season 1 to start on a Thursday. The D4 team had previously acknowledged community requests to adjust the start date, but this is the first time we’ve actually seen it move. However, that doesn’t explain the start time listed — 8:30 pm Pacific is pretty late in the day.

Season 11’s theme is centered around the original conflict — the High Heavens versus the Burning Hells — except this time it’s one angel (Hadriel, working through the denizens of Sanctuary) versus the four reunited Lesser Evils. Yes, Azmodan has returned to join the cast of World Bosses as a permanent inclusion to the title, while all four take over different game modes: World Bosses (Azmodan), Helltide (Duriel), Kurast Undercity (Andariel), and the Pit (Belial).

The Lesser Evils themselves are also the source of the seasonal power system. Each one drops a Corrupted Essence that you bring to Hadriel to purify. The purified slots themselves are not unlocked until you achieve specific levels in the season’s rep track; however, you can still equip the power’s “corrupted” version, granting its rewards at the cost of making something in that Lesser Evil’s new domain harder. Think a corrupted Duriel power making Helltide more complicated.

Hadriel is also the source of the season’s armor power-up option — Sanctification. Sanctification is basically the “ultimate” form of your armor. After upgrading a piece fully with the newly reworked tempering and masterworking, Sanctifying makes it unmodifiable and grants one of five potential improvements.

Thanks to a few community interviews with D4 Devs Colin and Zaven, we in the community have been strongly encouraged to watch The Game Awards on December 11, two days after the season starts. The general assumption is that we’ll get the trailer for the next Diablo 4 expansion, so we can finally find out just what the heck Mephisto has been up to in his new Akarat suit. But until then, you have a few days left to wrap up your reliquaries and say goodbye to your Chaos Armor. We kick off Season 11 on December 11 (and not December 9). See you in Sanctuary!
