Diablo 4’s Season of the Infernal Hordes will introduce a complete overhaul of Unique Items and Legendary Aspects, along with a new endgame activity meant to get players ready for the upcoming Vessel of Hatred DLC.

If you’re wondering how much time you have left to explore Season of Loot Reborn before Diablo 4 Season 5 starts, here’s everything you need to know.

Diablo 4 Season 5 start date

Diablo 4 Season 5 will start on August 6, 2024, at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM BST. This is the date that’s featured in the Diablo 4 Season 4 main menu, which always indicates when the transition between seasons starts.

Seasons usually last around 12 weeks (three months), but Season of Loot Reborn is ending a week earlier than usual. This is because Blizzard is setting up Season 5 to be a transition for the upcoming Vessel of Hatred expansion, which is why it will also go on for only nine weeks.

Hellbreach Dungeons are a new feature in Season 5 to test your build before the Infernal Hordes.

When will Diablo 4 Season 4 end?

Diablo 4 Season 4 will end on August 6, 2024, which is the date displayed when entering the Diablo 4 main menu.

Usually, there isn’t any downtime between seasons. Unless Blizzard need to take the servers offline for some emergency maintenance, you will be able to seamlessly transition from Season 4 to Season 5.

Diablo 4 character seasonal reset explained

For every new season in Diablo 4, you need to create a new Seasonal character. While your character progress is completely reset, there are a few things that carry over into the new season. They are as follows:

  • Renown and renown-related rewards
  • Paragon Points
  • Skill Points
  • Potion Charges
  • Obol capacity
  • Altar of Lilith progress

Before creating a new Seasonal character once the new season goes live, Blizzard recommend that you log in with a character you’ve made the most progress on. This will ensure that the above features carry over properly to your new character.
