This also means we’re getting Diablo 3 Season 25 on the same timeframe. Here’s what you can expect:

Soul Shards & Hellforge Embers

Season 25 will bring in a new type of socketable items: Soul Shards. Yes, the shards that power up the Prime Evils and Lesser Evils are now available for players to get and use on their weapons and gear in the new Season. There will be seven unique Soul Shards, with each of them bestowing a different demonic power. These Soul Shards can be upgraded three times using a new consumable: the Hellforge Ember.
