Wondering what the exact release date and time for Diablo 3 Season 33 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 32 (Ethereal Memory), so let's get started.

Update 15 October 2024: We've updated this article with all the Diablo 3 Season 33 details.

Diablo 3 Season 33 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 33 is confirmed on 25 October 2024 at 5 pm PST/CET/KST. 

What Time Does Diablo 3 Season 33 Start?

Every season of Diablo 3 starts at the same time. You can expect Diablo 3 Season 33 to start at 17:00 server time. This is regardless of region, so you can expect Season 33 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 33 Theme & Content

The shadows, they are moving, and they seem… animated. Like they have a will of their own. Whatever this trickery is, perhaps you can use it to your advantage. Let’s see what the demons say when you fight side by side with your own shadow!

Shadows of the Past: Activating a Shrine/Pylon will spawn in a shadow clone of your class, who will come with a randomly chosen 1 of 3 predetermined builds. This clone's power will scale with your character and will last for 1 minute (unless your character dies). See this article for the shadow clone variations that can spawn when activating.

Kanai’s Cube: Kanai’s Cube will have a fourth slot this season. This fourth slot will have the choices of the first 3 slots but will not stack with any of them, providing additional flexibility to your build.

Diablo 3 S33 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:

• uardian of Sanctuary: Finish a Level 70 Nephalem Rift on Torment XIII difficulty within five minutes.
• Gem of My Life: Level three Legendary Gems to level 55.
• All I Do is Win: Complete 2 Conquests this Season.
• Life Goes On: Kill Maghda at Level 70 in under fifteen seconds on Torment XIII difficulty.
• Money Ain’t a Thang: Slay Greed on Torment XIII difficulty. Treasure Goblins outside of Nephalem Rifts will sometimes open portals to Greed’s domain, The Vault.
• Take U There: Reach Greater Rift Level 60 Solo. Greater Rift keystones can be obtained from any Nephalem Rift guardian.
• 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 33 Class Sets - Haedrig's Gift

Each season, Diablo 3 players can work towards completing specific chapters of the Season's Journey, and Season 33 is no different. Haedrig's Gift's Class Sets will rotate again with Diablo 3 Season 33.

Players can only unlock one Class Set via Haedrig's Gift in Diablo 3 Season 33 across non-Hardcore and Hardcore.

Diablo 3 Season 33 List of Class Sets:
