There’s a fair amount of depth to this system, because the cost of unlocking Seals is based on how many you’ve unlocked so far, so you really need to think about how you progress down the tree. The Altar of Rites works like a standard talent tree: unlock the first Seal and then choose which path to progress down. Fortunately these unlocks are account-wide, so if you play multiple Seasonal characters all of them will have access.

Expect to spend time farming up rare materials, unique drops, and plenty of Bloodshards to keep progressing. The first Seal is easy to unlock - it costs just 10 Reusable Parts - but after that Seals become more and more expensive. Starting at level 1, you can make sacrifices at the Altar to unlock its powers. These abilities are accessed through the Altar of Rites, which you’ll find in the Festering Woods outside of Tristram. The new talent tree includes 26 Seals and three Legendary Potion Powers, all of which are class-agnostic abilities that will provide power-ups no matter which class you play. With the Rites of Sanctuary beginning February 24, let’s take a look at exactly what’s in store for us in Season 28. This is the first time I’ve looked at a Season and thought I don’t know if I can do this. The earliest tiers of the talent tree are fairly accessible, but you’ll find you need to dedicate increasing effort to unlock subsequent tiers. It’s essentially a completely new talent tree system bolted on to Diablo 3, the sort of thing you might expect to see in an expansion rather than as a Season Theme.īut it will be demanding to fully unlock the abilities in Season 28, so plan on spending plenty of time to really dig into the system if you want to make full use of the Rites of Sanctuary. The Rites of Sanctuary is perhaps the biggest Season Theme we’ve seen, with an entirely new set of powers that combine in unique ways to significantly change up gameplay in Season 28. The upcoming Diablo 3 Season 28 could be the last season the game has, because the Diablo 4 release date is is on the horizon - and if this is the last time we get to play a Diablo 3 Season, the team decided to go out with a bang because Season 28 adds an elaborate new talent tree system to the game.
