When playing a Terror Zone-enabled game, every hour, the armies of the Burning Hells will focus their demonic might on specific zones, terrorizing them. As we get into details, please note that players can choose to opt-out of Terror Zones if desired. We also want the journey to level 99 to be accessible to a larger population of players, full of variety, and most importantly, challenging-this is where Terror Zones come in. We want to offer an alternative to repeatedly farming Baal, Diablo, or Nihlathak. The journey to level 99 is a celebrated experience for players and quite the milestone if achieved-a rite of passage, even. We cannot wait for players to begin the race to collect loads of experience and loot while slaying demons and climbing the leaderboard! Additional details on Ladder Season Two, including launch timing, will be communicated in an upcoming Diablo II: Resurrected blog.

The flames of the Burning Hells have forecasted the future, hero: Ladder Season Two will begin on October 6. We’re excited to share that for this PTR we will be debuting Terror Zones-an experimental feature-and introducing a variety of bug fixes to address feedback the community has provided us. Our next testing period, PTR 2.5, goes live on August 25 at 10 a.m. The PTR will end on September 19 at 10:00 a.m.

Update on September 15: Content changes have gone live for the PTR 2.5 testing period.
