Recently, Diablo 2 Resurrected's second Ladder season, Terror Zones and patch 2.5 are live online. But when will the next D2R Ladder be reset?

Next we'll tell you some important information, including when Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder will be reset and when Season 3 will be released, so potential Nelphalem can get some useful information ahead of time and mark their calendars.

Because of Blizzard's previous attempts to perfect Terror Zones released in the 2.5 update, the reset time of Diablo 2 Resurrected's Season 2 Ladder will be delayed, and it is expected to be later than October 6, 2022. So when will Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder be reset again? But judging from the information we have learned so far, it is still difficult to guess the exact date of D2R's Ladder reset.

Next we look at the Public Test Realm schedule, patch dates, and past Ladder reset dates.

Patch 2.4 PTR Ladder testing started on March 2, 2022

Patch 2.4 released on April 14, 2022

Patch 2.5 PTR beta ended on September 19, 2022

D2R's first Ladder reset occured on October 6, 2022, and Season 2 began
Patch 2.6 PTR testing began on January 24, 2023

By the time Ladder was reset, the original Diablo 2 had lasted six months. And five months and a week after Season 1's release, Diablo 2 Resurrected performed its first Ladder reset.

However, it is precisely because of Blizzard's focus on Terror Zones that the new season has been delayed. Conventionally, D2R Ladder resets are performed every four months, so we may see the next reset on February 16, 2023. Resetting goes through such a process, first use PTR to test the content of patch 2.6, and the time is one week. The second is to release an updated version and perform a Ladder reset two weeks later.

Meaning of D2R Ladder Type

Some novices who know little about Ladder will choose new characters in each new season and use D2R Ladder Items to help them improve their own strength, so as to continuously improve their rankings in the entire network, and eventually make the competition very intense.

After D2R Ladder is reset, players will continue to improve their level through Normal, Nightmare, Hell, and Terror Zones and seize the top spot in the new season leaderboard. In addition, each new season will add some special features, and these features are unique to Ladder, players can experience them in their heart's content.

There are four different Ladder types in Diablo 2 Resurrected, and each type has a unique leaderboard.

D2R Classic Ladder: Start as a beginner and complete the original Diablo 2 Acts
D2R Hardcore Classic Ladder: The content is the same as that of D2R Classic Ladder. However, if you die, your character disappears, and the game starts over.
D2R Expansion Ladder: You'll need to start at elementary and complete all five acts, including the Lord of Destruction expansion's Act V.
D2R Expansion Hardcore Ladder: The content is the same as that of D2R Expansion Ladder. However, if you die, your character disappears, and the game starts over.
