Diablo 4 Season 5 release date and start time countdown

Diablo 4 Season 5 is all set for a release date of August 6 PDT (Tuesday). The Next update for Blizzard's seminal ARPG, Season 5 will have a lot to live up to, as the previous Season potentially saved the franchise from a gradual player exodus. From what we have seen in the PTR, there are not enough hooks for the latest Season to outshine Loot Reborn, but players are still hopeful about what Blizzard can conjure.

Seasonal cycles are the lifeblood of Diablo 4, not only to renew player interest but also to make necessary switch-ups and improvements to its ARPG formula.

For the Sorcerer mains who are waiting in line to try out Diablo 4 Season 5, here's exactly how long you need to wait.

While faster power-leveling avenues makes it easier to levelup your friends in Diablo 4, Season 5 will have its challenges to face.
