On January 12 at 11 a.m. PST, the Tower opens in the Seasonal Realm, challenging those who consider themselves the pinnacle of monster-slaying prowess. Tear through the Tower, a fearsome new experience for many players, with a chance to earn a place on the Leaderboards. Arriving in Beta with 2.5.2, the Tower and Leaderboards are launching early so we can shape the experience together with your feedback.
The Tower and Leaderboards will have more features integrated over future seasons. For example, rewards will be integrated further into development.
Because this is a Beta, you may encounter bugs along the way. We'll be actively tuning and improving the feature throughout the Beta based on what you experience and share with us. Drop any feedback in the dedicated Tower and Leaderboards subforum here. We'll use it to shape this game mode into something everyone is excited to return to and challenge, season after season.
In the Tower, you'll battle your way through a series of floors featuring randomized layouts and monster families. Push deeper, race against the clock and unleash your build as you fight toward the final Tower boss to complete your run.
We will be actively listening and iterating on the Tower in the Diablo IV Forums to shape it with your support. Thank you for playing the Tower Beta and providing your feedback.
On January 12 at 11 a.m. PST, the Tower opens on the Seasonal Realm for the worthy to slay through the pulse pounding halls of each level. Use Pylons to your advantage to slay elites and rack up your score as fast as possible. Keep slaying enemies until you spawn the final boss, defeat them to complete your run. Every decision matters when you're racing the clock.
To access the Tower, you'll need to have completed Rank 2 of Season Rank. Once completed, you'll enter through the Obelisk in Cerrigar.

Leaderboards will run in multiple two-week rounds throughout the season, then close the day before Season of the Divine Intervention ends.
Sample Leaderboard timing:
After the final round, the Tower and Leaderboards will be unavailable until the next season begins. Note that during the Beta or following, this timing cadence may be subject to change.
For more details on the Leaderboard structure, you can learn more here.
We've made a host of changes since the Tower and Leaderboards were first introduced in the 2.5.0 PTR. To learn more about the changes made, you can read the 2.5.2 patch notes here.
Our focus throughout the Beta is on tuning difficulty, improving mechanics, expanding monster variety, and introducing new rewards-all fueled by your feedback. Each season will bring updates as we shape The Tower into a mighty endgame pillar.
To provide feedback or bug reports, you can submit those to the dedicated Tower and Leaderboards subforum.
The Beta release of the Tower and Leaderboards is just the beginning. Your feedback will directly influence how this mode evolves, helping us tune difficulty, expand encounters, and shape a leaderboard experience worth mastering. Thank you for participating in the Beta!
