Season 6 is halfway through its 90-day cycle, which means the Season 7 announcement is coming soon. Here's what we know from official teases, datamining, and credible leaks.
Confirmed by Blizzard
- Season 7 launches approximately 2026-12-04 (90 days after S6 launch)
- A new seasonal mechanic tied to the Burning Hells invading Sanctuary
- New Legendary Aspects for every class
- Battle Pass with 90 tiers of free + premium rewards
Datamined Hints
The PTR (Public Test Realm) client leaked several asset names that hint at upcoming content:
- "Hell_Tide_Pit" — a fusion mechanic combining Helltide and The Pit
- "Dreadlands_Zone" — a new zone in the eastern portion of the map
- "Soul_Cannibalism" — a class-specific mechanic for Necromancer
- "Mount_Summon_Combat" — likely an expansion of the S6 mount combat feature
Our Predictions
- New Endgame Activity: The Pit will get a Tormented equivalent with a permanent leaderboard reset
- New Class Mechanic: Each class gets one new "capstone" passive that opens at level 80
- Crafting Overhaul: Obducite drops will be more abundant; Masterworking costs reduced by 30%
- Story Reveal: The expansion narrative continues — Tyrael returns

A community wishlist from our Discord (open the list below for the top items):
