This is our first Seasonal Theme that introduces a new activity to the game. In Season 26, we introduce the Echoing Nightmare.

Will these Nephalem heed the whispers of atonement of fallen heroes and survive their echoing nightmare? Or will they be forever trapped, becoming just another fallen Nephalem? Only time will tell. The souls of heroes defeated in the eternal struggle against evil call for aid! Astute Nephalem will listen to the petrified screams of the dead, and find themselves attuned to the last agonizing moments of the departed. We are expecting this update to be released on April 12. Read on to learn more about the season theme and balance changes coming in Patch 2.7.3. Season 26 will begin on April 15, at 5PM (PDT/CEST/KST) shortly after our next Diablo III update.
