Diablo 3 Seasons

If you're new to Diablo 3 or just to the concept of Seasons in the game, you may be wondering what's going on with all the hype about the upcoming Season 18, which starts this Friday, August 23.

Update: Season 17 has come to a close, but Season 18 starts on August 23, so more Seasonal excitement is just around the corner.

Blizzard is about to put Diablo 3's Patch 2.6.4 on the PTR for a week of testing -- an unusually short amount of time for a patch to get tested on the PTR, implying a fast turnaround for it.

Another Diablo 3 Season is about to end.

We've known for a little while now that the 11th Season of Diablo 3 would be coming July 20, two weeks from now -- what we didn't know is what this particular Season would have in terms of player rewards.

Blizzard seems to have pulled it off again.

Analysis of Diablo 3 Season 4 started as early as a month in with a piechart graphic from Monstrous, a Diablo 3 forum MVP, that tracked class popularity in the leaderboards in 4-player, 3-player, 2-player, and solo groups across all seasons, using data from DiabloRank.

While PC gamers may be hyped for Season 4, coming to Diablo 3 this week, console gamers remain locked out from the excitement.
