Season 16 begins Friday, January 18 at 5:00 p.m. PST in North America, 5:00 p.m. CET in Europe, and 5:00 p.m. KST in Asia. For time zone conversion, see this site.

That is tonight 8PM EST. I will certainly be on, hitting up SC Seasonal probably as a barbarian.

Betrayer League and Expansion will go live 12/6.

This expansion was meant to compete with an expected announcement of Diablo 4 by Blizzard (which never came). So expect some major content updates, overhaul, and other quality of life additions to propel this game even furthur ahead in the ARPG genre!

A17 B208 is the latest experimental currently out.

To opt in for the beta:

Right click on 7 Days in your Steam Library, and click the Beta Tab.
Hit the dropdown and select [latest_experimental]

It is experimental, so there are bugs. If you encounter any, report it on the 7 days forums for b208 bug reporting. Otherwise, you can wait until the stable release of A17 comes out.

A17-Exp Release: Tentatively July 2018

Stable expected to follow within a couple weeks of Experimental release. Will be updating the server once Experimental hits to start checking it out.

**Keep in Mind** Experimental will have more bugs than usual. And will be reset for each Experimental patch and a final server reset once Stable version is out.

If you don't want to deal with the resets / bugs, just wait until Stable is on the server. Otherwise, just start checking out and enjoying the new content once A17 Experimental is out.
