Diablo 4: When Do Leaderboards & the Gauntlet Release?

While Diablo 4 Season 3 released with lots of new content for players to experience, there was one feature missing from its launch. One of the main selling points of Season 3 was the announcement of a weekly challenge dungeon called The Gauntlet, providing players with a place to test their characters and compete against each other in an arcade-like mode with global leaderboards. Sadly, these features were delayed and were not released with the launch of Season 3, disappointing many dedicated players.

While Blizzard has not announced an official release date for these systems, they have hinted at their expected arrival in more than one instance. In this article, we are going to go over everything we know about the release date of The Gauntlet and leaderboards in Diablo 4 Season 3.

Diablo 4 Leaderboards & Gauntlet Release Date

In a blog post released by Blizzard, providing an overview of everything new in Season of the Construct, they announced that the Gauntlet will not be available at the start of the league. This has sparked speculation in the community about when these systems will actually arrive in the game.

A new challenge arrives later in Season of the Construct: Fight through The Gauntlet, a weekly rotating fixed dungeon that will have you competing for the top spot on the leaderboards.

While an official release date for the Gauntlet weekly dungeon and leaderboard system has not been confirmed yet, Blizzard has stated that they will launch 'a few weeks' into Season 3. This information was shared during the last Campfire Chat by the developer team, expressing their intention not to pressure players into reaching level 100 and rushing to the end of the game to participate in the new mode.

Many community members have speculated that these new additions are likely to launch around 3 to 4 weeks into the season, creating a second wave of excitement and bringing some players back into the season.

That covers everything you need to know about the release date of the new Gauntlet challenge mode dungeon, as well as the attached leaderboard system. Hopefully, it gets released before the season starts to lose some steam, and a ton of players get to compete for the top spot in the rankings.
