The official release date for Diablo 4's Abattoir of Zir endgame event is 5 December 2023 for those in the US and 6 December 2023 for those in Europe. This new endgame experience will be released with Diablo 4 Patch 1.2.3, also adding an Enchanting Preview feature to the Occultist crafting vendor.

The release time for Abattoir of Zir is following the expected Diablo 4 server maintenance period, which should be during the following times:

  • Diablo 4 EU Maintenance - Tuesday from 19:00 to 20:00 CEST.
  • Diablo 4 US Maintenance - Tuesdays from 09:00 to 10:00 PDT.

There is always a chance that extended maintenance might occur. In this case, you can add roughly two hours more to the end times above.
