Diablo 4 has delayed the launch of the Gauntlet and leaderboards, which were due to debut on February 13. The third Diablo 4 season began last month, and these two new features were promised by Blizzard. Both features will offer a challenging experience for Diablo 4 players, rewarding them for their efforts.
Diablo 4 has come a long way since the introduction of the season system. Season 1 was met with massive negativity due to nerfs to classes and downgrades to gameplay features. The second season had the mission of correcting the mistakes of the previous one, and it didn’t skimp on changes. Diablo 4 announced significant adjustments to mounts, Nightmare Dungeons, and more, improving the pace and creating a better experience. With the arrival of Season 3, Blizzard announced new stories and content like the Gauntlet and leaderboards. But while the Diablo 4 community was happy about the announcement of these features, Blizzard now has some bad news related to them.

On Twitter, Diablo General Manager Rod Fergusson said that the development team had decided to “polish things up a bit more,” opting for the postponement of the Gauntlet and leaderboards. Due to the decision to fine-tune the features, it’s unknown when they will be available in Diablo 4 Season 3. Despite the delays, Fergusson kept players hopeful by saying that more details and a new release date will be revealed soon.
Diablo 4 Gauntlets and Leaderboards Not Coming on February 13
The Gauntlet and leaderboards are elements aimed at the competitive Diablo 4 players. The Gauntlet will be a dungeon accessible after players reach World Tier 4, although they don’t need to be level 100 for it to be available. This dungeon will have a specific layout, monsters, and affixes that will last for one week, being reset the following week. In the Gauntlet, monsters and chests will drop Proofs of Might, which players will need to collect as many as possible to maximize their score. Players will earn seals according to their score, and the top 1000 will enter the leaderboard. The Diablo 4 leaderboard will have several brackets, and everyone can qualify by playing the Diablo 4 classes solo, or at a party of up to four players.
Like its predecessors, the third Diablo 4 season hasn’t escaped negative feedback. Some players accused it of being a “massive step backward,” frustrated by the seasonal content and mechanics. Since then, Blizzard has been tweaking its game, like making Diablo 4‘s robot companion stronger. Although the postponement of the Gauntlet and leaderboards is a new disappointment, it shows that Diablo 4 devs are actively working to deliver a better experience for the community.
