When does Season 16 end? The current 16th season in Diablo 3 ends in just a few days. On Sunday, May 12 it is finished. Until then, you still have time to take advantage of the stage bonuses. Every player receives the Ring of Royal Grandeur as a passive bonus.
This date had been suspected for some time but was only recently confirmed by Blizzard. Usually, they take their time until a few days before the end of a season to announce a final end date.
