Breach league was a challenge league. It launched on December 2, 2016 as part of the content update for version 2.5.0.[1] The league ended on February 27, 2017.
In this league, there were breaches that appeared in zones. Approaching a breach opened a parallel realm containing otherworldly monsters. The breach continued to expand as more breach monsters were killed until it eventually collapsed. Splinters dropped from enemies within the breach, which can be combined into a Breachstone to challenge the Breachlord in their realm.
All characters and stashes were moved to Standard league and Hardcore league respectively when the leagues ended. Characters that died in the Hardcore Breach league were immediately moved to the permanent Standard league.
