The end of January saw public testing of Diablo III’s Season 28 get underway, but if you missed that testing window then you can just wait for the season’s release, which is confirmed for Friday, February 24th, at 8:00 p.m. EST.

As referenced in the headline, Season 28’s theme is focused on the Altar of Rites, which players can use to unlock an extra tree of skills that lasts the entire season. Opening up the nodes for this tree will require resources gathered from demon slaying, and those who manage to open up every node on the tree will get a unique cosmetic reward. On the subject of rewards, there’s the usual Haedrig’s Gift, new rewards for the season journey that include a pet and portrait, and a return of Season 16 rewards.

The announcement post offers up details on the tree skills, a look at the rewards the season will offer, and patch notes that detail updates like bug fixes and changes to the Monk class and primordial ashes feature. Feel free to read up before readying to obtain season-specific power.

Activision-Blizzard is considered a controversial gaming company owing to a long string of scandals over the last few years, including the Blitzchung boycott, mass layoffs, labor disputes, and executive pay fiasco. In 2021, the company was sued by California for fostering a work environment rife with sexual harassment and discrimination, the disastrous corporate response to which compounded Blizzard’s ongoing pipeline issues and the widespread perception that its online games are in decline. Multiple state and federal agencies are investigating the company as employees unionize and call for Bobby Kotick’s resignation. As of 2023, the company is being acquired by no less than Microsoft.
