Ladder Season 8: The Journey to Level 99 Begins Anew

Diablo II: Resurrected has been a thrilling ride for many adventurers, with each Ladder Season offering a fresh opportunity to challenge the depths of the Burning Hells. Season 8 is no different, bringing with it the familiar, yet ever-exciting, race to Level 99. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a newcomer looking to make your mark, this season promises a host of rewards and fierce competition.

Launch Dates and Times:

  • North America: August 23, 5 p.m. PDT

Prepare yourself to dive in as soon as the gates open, because the race to dominate the Leaderboard will be intense.

Ladder Season 8 Modes

Ladder Season 8 continues the tradition of offering multiple playstyles to suit different types of adventurers. Whether you prefer the raw challenge of Hardcore mode or the expansive experience of the Lord of Destruction expansion, there’s a mode for everyone:

  • Pre-Expansion Ladder: This is the standard version of Ladder play, which includes only the original four acts of Diablo II.
  • Pre-Expansion Hardcore Ladder: The Hardcore version of Ladder play, offering only one life, and encompassing the original four acts.
  • Ladder: This mode includes all five acts, with the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content, allowing players to experience the full breadth of Diablo II.
  • Hardcore Ladder: The most challenging mode, combining the Hardcore (one life) rule with all five acts, including the “Lord of Destruction” expansion.

What Happens to Your Loot?

One question on every adventurer’s mind as a new season approaches is: What will happen to the loot I’ve amassed? As with previous seasons, when Ladder Season 7 ends, all Ladder characters will be transitioned to non-ladder groups. Your hard-earned items will be stored in a new “Withdraw Only” set of Shared Stash tabs, marked by a “Past” box.

However, it’s crucial to remember that any items left in the Withdraw Only tabs from Season 6 will be lost once Season 8 starts. You have all of Season 8 to withdraw any items you want to keep from Season 7. If you don’t claim them before Season 8 ends, they will be permanently lost as the Withdraw Only tabs are overwritten with items from the new season.

Final Thoughts

Ladder Season 8 is set to be another thrilling chapter in the saga of Diablo II: Resurrected. Whether you’re aiming to be the first to reach Level 99 or simply looking to enjoy the game with fellow adventurers, this season promises to deliver excitement, challenge, and endless loot. Mark your calendars for August 23rd, and prepare to re-enter Sanctuary’s dark and dangerous world. The demons won’t slay themselves — Sanctuary needs you, hero!
