In an unexpected update on the game's login screen, Blizzard has seemingly confirmed that Diablo IV Season 3 will be launching later this month. Despite not having an official title yet, it appears that the new season will commence on January 23, as indicated by the modified banner on the login screen.

The transition between seasons will occur swiftly, with less than two weeks until the launch date. This turnaround time is notably shorter than the transition from Season 1 to Season 2, which was announced months in advance. The upcoming Season 3 launch is expected to bring fresh content and challenges for Diablo IV players.

Interestingly, unlike previous season launches, Blizzard has not made any official announcements or provided updates regarding an imminent patch or a Campfire Chat. It is worth noting that Microsoft's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard took place in the interim since Season 2's announcement last August. Consequently, speculation has arisen suggesting that Diablo IV might make a surprise appearance during the Xbox Developer_Direct presentation scheduled for January 18.

As of now, no further details about Season 3 have been shared by Blizzard or the official Diablo social channels. The decision to keep information under wraps aligns with the practice adopted by other studios working on multiplayer and live service games, allowing dedicated players enough time to fully experience the current season before its conclusion. Further updates and information on Season 3 are anticipated in the near future.

Players and fans are advised to stay tuned to IGN's Diablo IV page for the latest news and walkthroughs on the upcoming Season 3. The launch of Season 3 promises to bring new adventures, challenges, and excitement to the dark and immersive world of Diablo IV.
