Valiant Nephalem who recover Angelic Crucibles, a new consumable item, may use them to Sanctify any equippable Legendary item, infusing it with one of three new class-specific powers at random. Season 27 introduces Light’s Calling, our new seasonal theme. The specific celestial force imbued within by the divine is unknown-an answer waiting to be sought on the battlefield. Cunning Nephalem seeking an advantage in combat will undergo an angelic trial, crystallizing a symbol of their morality into pure, otherworldly perfection. Looking to turn the tide of an unremitting war between light and darkness, the Angels of the High Heavens have embedded a token of their righteousness in Sanctuary.

For an in-depth look at the seasonal theme, rewards, and the balance changes made between the end of the Patch 2.7.4 PTR and now, take a gander below. The light beckons for your faithful return to Sanctuary-Season 27, Light’s Calling, will begin on August 26 at 5 p.m.

Update on August 23: Patch 2.7.4 is now live! See our forum post for additional details. Update on February 7: Season 27 of Diablo III will end on February 19.
