Ladder Season 5
Our previous Ladder Seasons for Diablo II: Resurrected have shown just how adept adventurers were at saving Sanctuary, racing to be the first to cement their names on the Leaderboard, while striking fear into the tormented hearts of their demonic adversaries in the process.
Ladder Season 5 will begin on September 28, ushering in a new opportunity for brave adventurers to race to Level 99 and amass powerful loot along the way. We cannot wait to see which determined souls carve their name into the Leaderboard this time.
Ladder Season 5 Launch Timing:
| North America |
September 28, 2:00 p.m. PDT |
| Europe |
September 28, 11:00 p.m. CEST |
| Asia |
September 29, 6:00 a.m. KST |
As with previous seasons, Ladder Season 5 will feature different modes:
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| Pre-Expansion Ladder | The standard version of Ladder play that encompasses only the original four acts. |
| Pre-Expansion Hardcore Ladder | The hardcore (only one life) version of Ladder play that encompasses only the original four acts. |
| Ladder | The standard version of Ladder play that encompasses five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content. |
| Hardcore Ladder | The hardcore (only one life) version of Ladder play that encompasses five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content. |
For those new to Ladder Seasons, you might be wondering what happens to your Shared Stash loot once the current season ends.
Once Ladder Season 4 ends, all Ladder characters will be transferred to their respective non-ladder group. All items in that character group’s Shared Stash go into a new Withdraw Only set of Shared Stash tabs, denoted by a check marked Past box. Any items from Ladder Season 3 stored in the Withdraw Only tabs will be lost at this time. You will have all of Ladder Season 5 to withdraw any items you would like to keep from Season 4. When Ladder Season 5 ends, this withdraw only set of Stash Tabs will be overridden with any items in the Ladder Season 5 Shared Stash. Be sure to get any items out before then or they will be forever lost!
May your Ladder race be filled with fiends to eviscerate and bountiful loot.
-The Diablo II: Resurrected Team
