  • Season 31 brings a new Battle Pass, Nightmoon Curse set, returning events, and balance changes.

Blizzard announced that Diablo, the Dark Lord that gave its name to the eponymous game series, will soon return to Diablo Immortal. This announcement comes as players are getting ready for the launch of Diablo Immortal Season 31, with new events and balance changes coming as Diablo looms in the shadows.

Following a rocky launch and the infamous “do you guys not have phones” moment during the game’s announcement at BlizzCon 2018, Diablo Immortal received various updates bringing new content, additional game modes, and expanding the original storyline. Over two years after its launch, Diablo Immortal continues to provide players with new content to discover, from the Tempest class introduced in May 2024 to the Shadow of the Frozen Throne limited-time crossover event where players could try and collect Frostmourne-themed cosmetics inspired by World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

As Season 31 of Diablo Immortal is launching on September 24, Blizzard teased the upcoming return of the most infamous villain in the series: Diablo, the Dark Lord. Following his defeat in Diablo 3, the main antagonist of the first three Diablo games didn’t appear in Diablo 4, with Lilith taking his place as the major villain to defeat. As Diablo Immortal takes place before the Dark Lord’s defeat in Diablo 3, players will soon face his threat in an upcoming update whose release date is still unknown.

On top of the return of one of the bosses that changed the most throughout the Diablo series, the release of Diablo Immortal Season 31 will bring a variety of new content for players to discover. Two PvP events are back for a limited time: the Wild Brawl will return from September 27 to October 4, so players can slay their enemies in this arena-style game mode, while the Alley of Blood team-based single-lane activity will run from October 8 to October 11. Once the Alley of Blood event ends, the Trial of Hordes will begin and run until October 18, letting players face each other for exclusive rewards. Last but not least, from October 1 to October 8, many activities will drop additional rewards upon completion, letting players collect anything they need from gold to legendary items. The launch of Diablo Immortal Season 31 also brings a variety of balance changes and feature updates.

For those who enjoy customizing their character with cosmetic elements, the release of Diablo Immortal Season 31 will provide additional content to collect. Despite controversies regarding Diablo Immortal's microtransactions, Blizzard's ARPG features a new Battle Pass to purchase for those who want more cosmetic elements and Legendary Gems, the in-game shop offers the Nightmoon Curse cosmetic set for 1,000 Eternal Orbs, and Yakin is back with his Shady Stock filled with items to purchase. Blizzard also teased the upcoming return of its Halloween-themed event Hallow’s Wake, with additional information to be released on October 7.
