Ladder Season 8
Our previous Diablo® II: Resurrected™ ranking seasons have shown just how adept adventurers are at saving Sanctuary, racing to be the first to cement their name on the leaderboard, while striking fear into the tormented hearts of their demonic opponents.
Ladder Season 8 will offer brave adventurers another opportunity to race toward Level 99 and collect powerful loot along the way. We can’t wait to see which determined souls will etch their name into the ladder this time around.
Ladder Season 8 Release Date:
| North America | August 23, 5:00 PM PDT |
| Europe | August 24, 2am CEST |
| Asia | August 24, 9am KST |
As with previous seasons, Ladder Season 8 will feature different modes:
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| Pre-extension ladder | The standard version of the Ladder game which includes only the four original acts. |
| Hardcore Ladder Pre-Expansion | The hardcore (one life only) version of Ladder play that only includes the original four acts. |
| Ladder | The standard version of the Ladder game which includes five acts, as it includes the content of the “Lord of Destruction” expansion. |
| Hardcore Scale | The hardcore (one life) version of the Ladder game that includes five acts, as it includes the content of the “Lord of Destruction” expansion. |
For those new to Ladder Seasons, you may be wondering what happens to your shared stash loot once the current season ends.
Once Ladder Season 7 ends, all Ladder characters will be transferred to their respective non-Ladder group. All items in that character group’s Shared Stash are placed in a new set of Withdrawal Only Shared Stash tabs, indicated by a checked Passed box. Any Ladder Season 6 items stored in the “Remove Only” tabs will be lost at this time. You will have the entirety of Ladder Season 8 to remove any items you wish to keep from Season 7. When Ladder Season 8 ends, this set of remove-only stash tabs will be replaced with all items from the Ladder Season 7 shared stash. Be sure to remove all items before this date, or they will be lost forever!
May your ladder run be filled with demons to eviscerate and plentiful loot.
