When does Diablo 3 Season 24 end?
Blizzard have confirmed that Diablo 3 Season 24 will end on December 5, 2021.
This means players may only have a few more weeks to farm this season’s Ethereal Weapons – a feature that is supposed to be constrained to Season 24. Despite fans claiming the enchanted items gave the game “new life,” we’ll have to wait and see if Blizzard adds them as permanent features.
⚔️ Hunt down the Ethereals you desire before they are lost to Darkness.

Diablo 3 Season 25: Theme
Season 25 is aptly entitled “The Lords of Hell,” and will revolve around the new socketable items, the Soul Shards. These can be fitted into your items to give your character access to a new set of demonic powers inspired by the Prime Evils themselves.
Helmets can be equipped with one of the three prime evil shards, whereas weapons can be upgraded with one of the four lesser evil shards. Each shard can be upgraded a total of three times using the season-exclusive Hellforge Ember.

All of the shards are random drops, but you’re more likely to net them by defeating the game’s bosses – so get ready to take down Diablo’s minions once more!

Writing that “with the upcoming 25th Anniversary of the Diablo Franchise, we wanted players to delve into the darker side of the Nephalem’s past,” Blizzard notes that “in Season 25, players can embrace evil by infusing themselves with the essences of the Lords of Hell… By embodying a Prime and Lesser Evil, players will inflict new forms of pain and suffering on the demons of Sanctuary. We can’t wait for players to get their hands on Soul Shards to start unlocking their true power.”
