The 23rd\/24th of January 2024 is our guess based on when Season 2 is set to end.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll update this page with the official Diablo 4 Season 3 launch date as soon as it has been confirmed.<\/p> <h2><b>What will Diablo 4 Season 3 entail?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>We don\u2019t know for sure exactly what new content will be in Diablo 4 Season 3, and won\u2019t until we\u2019re much closer to its release date, but thanks to a Campfire Chat from the development team on YouTube, we do know that Helltides will play a big role.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"Diablo IV Campfire Chat - November 2023\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7RZZFar-Qy8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<h3><b>Diablo 4 Season 3: Helltides<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Thanks to the positive reaction to the Blood Harvest events during Season 2, Helltides are being reworked in Diablo 4 Season 3.<\/p>\n<p>In one of the only known features of Season 3, Helltide events will last for 55 minutes every hour, with five minutes of downtime between each event. This upgrade should make it far easier to farm items dropped during the events.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Diablo 4 Season 3: The Gauntlet<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Also revealed to play a major role in Season 3 of Diablo 4 is The Gauntlet. The Gauntlet is essentially a new and upgraded version of the Challenge Rifts activities from Diablo 3.<\/p>\n<p>In The Gauntlet, your goal will be to slaughter all enemies in a non-linear dungeon as fast as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Leaderboards will show the world how fast you clear the weekly event. If you manage to complete the weekly Gauntlet quick enough, you will end up in the Hall of the Ancients \u2013 your completion time and character permanently recognised in-game.<\/p>\n<p>The Gauntlet will be endgame content.<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6342161071112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <p>Another change that we know is incoming is an update on how itemisation works, although it sounds like the major changes on that front will be coming in Season 4.<\/p>\n<p>More on that and everything else above will be revealed as we near the Season 3 release date in Diablo 4.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free newsletter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest gaming intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
