Happy New Year, adventurer!
Since our previous major update, you went claw-to-claw with the Lord of Terror himself, Diablo, harnessed the power of new Legendary Gems, and pushed yourself to hellish heights by running new Challenge Dungeons. This content update introduces the Season 35 Battle Pass, a new drop table modifier for Legendary Gems, and more.
As with previous content updates, there will be server maintenance starting on January 7, from 4 p.m.–6 p.m. PST for Oceania, January 8, from 12 a.m.–2 a.m. PST for servers in the Americas. After the maintenance has concluded, all items mentioned below will be live—specific dates for any features going live afterward are provided below.
Season 35 Battle Pass: Traveling Blade
Most scurry to obey the Great Families’ commandments. A rare few answer them with steel. The Season 35 Battle Pass seeps into Sanctuary on January 16, at 3 a.m. server time, consisting of 40 ranks worth of rewards, such as Crests, Hilts, Legendary Gems, and more.
Begin slaying demons and climbing your way through the ranks today before the Great Families seek retribution on February 13, 2:59 a.m. server time.
Reactivate Your Ephemeral Treasures with the Collector’s Empowered Battle Pass
Cosmetics lost to time have reemerged in a new aspect of the Collector’s Empowered Battle Pass. Upon activating your Collector’s Empowered Battle Pass, you can choose two Ephemeral Treasures you already own to reactivate, meaning they can once again be displayed proudly. Each consecutive activation of a Collector’s Empowered Battle Pass will score you the ability to reactivate an additional Ephemeral Treasure, up to 5 at a time.
