Since our last content update, players have delved into the Age of Unmaking, discovered a new chapter in Deckard Cain’s storied past, and tested themselves with Oblivion Pillars. This upcoming content update introduces the Season 25 Battle Pass, a new Events Center, and two new endless modes in Survivor’s Bane.
The generals of the Burning Hells have unleashed their most clever magic—the ability to alter time itself. Starting on April 10th, the server time will roll back an hour earlier for Australia during maintenance to account for the end of daylight savings time.
As with previous content updates, there will be server maintenance starting on April 9, from 5 p.m.–7 p.m. PST for Oceania, China, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe servers, and on April 10, from 1 a.m.–3 a.m. PST for servers in the Americas. After the maintenance has concluded, all items mentioned below will be live—specific dates for any features going live afterward are provided below.

Survivor’s Bane will feature some new variations when playing in Endless mode. We’re introducing a new system where you’ll receive a random buff at the start of the match to help aid you in vanquishing hellspawn.
We’re also introducing two new hellishly augmented versions of Survivor’s Bane which greatly increases the overall challenge. Legions increases enemy spawn rate by 100%, and experience earned by 50%. The second, Stampede, increases enemy density by 50%, and enemy movement speed by 25%.
New achievements will be yours to unlock once you’ve mastered these new modes by crushing demons in Survivor’s Bane. Partaking in these new modes will also earn you increased rewards from rising to meet this challenge with a fervor only Sanctuary’s finest could muster.
