Diablo 3 Season 33 Start and End Dates - Latest Updates

Diablo 3’s Season 33 brings, between its start and end dates, the final content refresh that Blizzard’s long-running hack and slash RPG is expected to receive in 2024.

Even with the development of new features coming to a halt, following the launch of Diablo 4, we should have plenty of demon slaying and loot chasing to keep us busy between Diablo 3’s Season 33 start and end dates.

Diablo 3 Season 33 Release Date

Diablo 3 seasons usually last for around three months. They normally kick off on Fridays and conclude on Sundays, although we have had exceptions to this rule in the past.

Based on what we know so far, we currently expect Diablo 3’s Season 33 start date to occur between October 2024 and November 2024, when Season 32 comes to a close on the 20th October.

Diablo 3 Season 33 start date: 25th October, 2024
Diablo 3 Season 33 end date: Between January 2025 and February 2025 (GameWatcher estimation)

Although its end date hasn’t been officially revealed, we’re willing to bet that the season will last until at least January or February 2025, making our holidays considerably more eventful.

Diablo 3 Season 33 Theme

Diablo 3’s Season 33 theme brings back the shadow clones from Season 22, also known as Shades of the Nephalem.

Activating a shrine or pylon spawns in a shadow clone of your current class. Clones stick around for a whole minute, randomly choosing one of three predetermined builds. Their power scales with your character’s.

Kanai’s Cube is also getting a fourth slot with access to the same choices as the other three. While its effects do not stack with other similar effects, it does provide additional flexibility when building characters.

Diablo 3 Season 33 Cosmetic Rewards

In terms of cosmetic rewards, we can obtain the chest and gloves slots of the exclusive Conqueror Set alongside the Pandemonium portrait and Rocky pet first introduced in Season 9.

Completing the Season Journey in its entirety grants the Stupendous Contraption pet and the Industrial Portrait Frame.

Diablo 3 Season 33 Journey Rewards

Diablo 3’s Season 33 continues to offer those who have yet to unlock five extra stash tabs via the Season Journey another chance to do so. Below, you’ll find the full list of active objectives:

Guardian 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.

Diablo 3 Season 33 Seasonal Conquest

Anyone chasing high spots on the leaderboards can do so by tackling the following Seasonal Conquests in Diablo 3’s Season 33.

Curses!/Stars Align involves defeating 350 or more foes during Cursed Chest events at level 70 on the Torment X difficulty or higher.

Sprinter/Speed Racer can be claimed by blitzing through Diablo III’s campaign (Act I through Act V) at Level 70 in less than an hour.

For Avarice/Avaritia, we’ll have to target a 50 million gold streak outside of The Vault or its Inner Sanctum, while Thrill/Superhuman, challenges us to complete a level 45 Greater Rift on our own and without any Set items equipped.

Patience is set aside a second time with Speed Demon/Need for Speed, which revolve around completing a Torment X Nephalem Rift at Level 70 in two minutes or less.
