When Does Diablo 4 Season 6 End & Season 7 Start?

Diablo 4's Vessel of Hatred expansion has been a massive success, bringing a new class, zone, and many balance changes and additions to the endgame. Even though most of the content in this update is evergreen, it’s important to understand that some of it is also tied to Season 6. These mechanics are the Realmwalker events and the Seething Opal Elixirs, both of which are likely to be removed from the game once the season ends, in favor of a new seasonal mechanic. But when does Season 6 end, and when can we expect to see Season 7 and all of the new mechanics that come with it? In this article, we’ll answer all of these questions!

When Does Diablo 4 Season 6 End?

Based on the information in the main menu of Diablo 4, Season 6 is set to conclude on January 21, 2025. Keep in mind that delays can always happen, so the best time to check the release date of the new season will be mid-January. When Season 6 ends, all of the new mechanics, including the Realmwalkers and Seething Opal Elixirs, are likely to be removed from the game, and all of your seasonal characters will be transferred to the Eternal realm. Here is a picture from the main menu that includes the end date of Season 6:

When Does Diablo 4 Season 7 Release?

The release date of Season 7 is a bit more uncertain, as there hasn't been a consistent precedent so far involving the gap between seasons. Most seasons so far have launched right as the previous one ends, leading us to believe that Season 7 will release on January 22, 2025. Season 1, however, had an 11-day gap between its launch and the end of the preseason, so it's still possible for the release date to be pushed back slightly. Either way, Season 7 will likely release in January, bringing brand-new seasonal mechanics and a ton of balance changes.

That’s everything you need to know about when Diablo 4 Season 6 ends. Hopefully, Blizzard continues to add more content to the game, as the Vessel of Hatred expansion has been a big improvement compared to the previous few seasons.
