Diablo 3 Season 26

Diablo 3 Season 26 has an end date announced, so now we start asking the inevitable question: When can we expect the next season?

Diablo 3 Season 26 started April 15, introducing a new endgame activity for the season's theme -- the Echoing Nightmare -- that will persist following the end of Season 26.

Another Diablo 3 Season has begun, with Season 26 representing the theme of Echoing Nightmare starting on April 15.

A series of changes came to Greater Rifts in Diablo 3 patch 2.7.3 just ahead of the start of Season 26 that should make getting to the Rift Guardian a little faster, without the tedium of chasing monsters down the endless corridors of maps like the Hidden Aqueducts.

The new Season's start is one of my favorite times of the year.

We're coming up on the start of Diablo 3 Season 26, and Blizzard has thrown together a new end-game mode as a theme: the Echoing Nightmare.  This is the first seasonal theme that's added an entirely new activity to the title, but tackling this unique rift type remains optional, so don't stress if you'd prefer to complete the season's journey and earn rewards.

Diablo 3 Season 25 ends on April 10, and now we know that the next Season will follow quickly on its heels: Season 26 begins on Friday, April 15, just five days later.

Diablo 3's Season 26 will feature the Echoing Nightmare, a brand new endgame challenge that will only be available for Seasonal players during this one Season.
