Diablo Immortal’s Next Update Adds Rift Racer Season 3 and War Games Options

Posted on by

Diablo Immortal’s next content update goes live after maintenance on November 3 and 4, bringing Season 3 of Rift Racer, new temporary War Games settings, Battleground matchmaking changes, and a new Phantom Market cosmetic draw.

Maintenance runs November 3 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. PST for Oceania, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe servers, then November 4 from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. PST for servers in the Americas.

  • Rift Racer Season 3 runs November 4 to November 8, with five difficulties, class-based leaderboards, returning Goblin encounters, and expanded cross-server rewards across 12 tiers.
  • The top 50% of participating players will receive leaderboard rewards, while the top player for each class gets the 90-day Rift Racer Champion title. Rewards go out November 9 at the 3 a.m. server reset.
  • War Games is getting temporary “Character Settings” from November 4, 2026, to February 17, 2027. Hosts can enable or disable systems such as Familiars and Awakened Legendary Gems, plus set caps for stats including Resonance, Combat Rating, Life, Damage, Armor, and more.
  • Battleground matchmaking is being adjusted to better evaluate player skill and keep rating changes more consistent after wins and losses.
  • Auxiliary Gems can now be active above Rank 1, with max rank based on gem quality. They still can’t exceed the rank of the socketed Primary Gem.
  • Vanguard difficulties 1 to 3 now let players manually add Spectral Allies. Difficulty 4 still requires a full party.

The Majestic Depths Phantom Market runs November 4 to December 2, with the Lord of the Raging Tides legendary cosmetic as the headline prize. Players are guaranteed the Final Feast Cantor cross-class weapon within the first three draws.

A Legendary Gem drop pool event follows from November 11 to December 16, giving Elder Rifts a 50% drop rate for either Haunt Coil or Leviathan Tomb. Returning events include Pass the Chair from November 11 to December 9, Trial of the Hordes from November 11 to November 18, and Shady Stock from November 14 to November 21.

The update also adds class icons next to avatars in places like Leaderboards, Party Finder, and PvP, which should make it easier to tell who’s playing what class when custom avatars are involved. Blizzard also listed several bug fixes for Barbarian, Monk, Crusader, Necromancer, Tempest, and Warlock Legendary Essences.
