Diablo 3 Season 31 Start Time Countdown: Release Date, Theme, Content

Wondering what the exact release date and time for Diablo 3 Season 31 is? We've got you covered with everything you need to know about the next season of Diablo 3, including when it starts, content, the theme, and more.

This article explains what Nephalem can expect from Diablo 3 Season 31 (Season of the Forbidden), so let's get started.

Update 28 March 2024: We've updated this article with all the Diablo 3 Season 31 details. 

Diablo 3 Season 31 Release Date & Time

Diablo seasons typically end on a Sunday, with new seasons always launching on a Friday. The exact release date and time for Diablo 3 Season 31 is confirmed on 12 April 2024 at 5 pm PST/CET/KST. 

What Time Does Diablo 3 Season 31 Start?

Every season of Diablo 3 starts at the same time. You can expect Diablo 3 Season 31 to start at 17:00 server time. This is regardless of region, so you can expect Season 30 to start at 5pm PDT in North America, 5pm CEST in Europe, and 5pm KST in Asia.

As with any other online title, there might be unexpected issues or extended maintenance when a new season gets underway, so keep this in mind while planning your game time in Sanctuary.

Diablo 3 Season 31 Theme & Content

This section will be updated once more info becomes available. We know the follow content will be available, based on the Season 20 theme.

Season 31 is the Season of the Forbidden Archives. Many adventurers have come to learn the power that dwells within the ancient nephalem artifact, Kanai’s Cube. However, none understands this power better than the equally celebrated and reviled Horadrim, Zoltun Kulle. Kulle was able to unlock and harness the power of the Cube like none before, leveraging its power to siphon and archive the energies of powerful items. With Season 31, we explore the power Kulle might lend to your fingertips if his experiments went unchecked.

For the duration of Season 31, the slots in Kanai’s Cube that allow you to equip three additional Legendary powers will not be restricted to their usual categories. While normally a player can equip one power each from the Weapon, Armor, and Jewelry categories, Season 31 players can mix and match between all three! This might allow you to run two Weapon powers with one Armor power. Or perhaps you might choose to run three Amulet powers instead. The choice is yours, and we’re as eager as you are to experiment with the new build opportunities this creates!

Diablo 3 S31 Season's Journey

Players can expect the Season's Journey tasks and Conquests to complete. These are generally not linked to a theme. Check out the current season's Conquest examples below:

• Guardian of Sanctuary: Finish a level 70 Nephalem Rift on Torment XIII within five minutes.
• Gem of My Life: Level three Legendary Gems to level 55.
• All I Do IS Win: Complete two Conquests this Season.
• Kill You: Kill Ghom at level 70 in under 30 seconds on Torment XIII difficulty.
• Money Ain’t A Thang: Slay Greed on Torment XIII difficulty.
• Take U There: Reach Greater Rift level 60 Solo.
• Power Amplification: Use Kanai’s Cube to augment an Ancient Legendary item with a level 50+ gem.
• Cubic Reconfiguration: Use Kanai’s Cube to reforge a Legendary item.

Lastly, we know there will be Haedrig's Gifts to unlock Class Set items.

Diablo 3 Season 31 Class Sets - Haedrig's Gift

Each season, Diablo 3 players can work towards completing specific chapters of the Season's Journey, and Season 31 is no different. Haedrig's Gift's Class Sets will rotate again with Diablo 3 Season 31.

Players can only unlock one Class Set via Haedrig's Gift in Diablo 3 Season 31 across non-Hardcore and Hardcore.
