Diablo 3 is about to live its last season, 11 years after its launch. For the occasion, Blizzard Entertainment has a final surprise for fans: a 100% single player mode.
While Blizzard Entertainment has focused most of its attention on Diablo IV, Diablo III has not yet been totally forgotten. The hack’n’slash released in 2012 will soon be in its final season, and the developers have a few surprises in store to honor their cult game. In a press release published on August 11, 2023, we discover the existence of a 100% solo mode, called “Solo Self Found”. It has been available for testing since August 16, on servers dedicated to this purpose.
” We have decided to integrate Solo Self Found into Diablo III while players have been asking for a real single player mode for several years », justifies Blizzard Entertainment. Fans will no doubt wonder why the company waited so long, until the end of the game’s life cycle, to release it. She now needs a maximum of feedback before making it accessible to everyone.
What is a single player mode in Diablo III?
Technically, Diablo III can already be played solo. But, it is still designed to be enjoyed by many, for example, by creating groups to go on an adventure and respond to the various challenges that arise. The idea behind Solo Self Found is to cut off all opportunities to get together and no longer enjoy all the benefits that come with it. ” Without the bonus experience obtained in groups and other players to protect you against the legions of demons, this mode will tempt you “says Blizzard Entertainment. According to the description, Solo Self Found looks like a final thrill before moving on, once the 29th and final season is over.
This exclusively solo mode will have its own rankings to honor those who dare to embark on this adventure, only left to themselves. It is intended a priori for the most experienced fans, who will be able to get by without ever being able to ask for help. The more adventurous will be able to experience the campaign as well as the adventure mode in these conditions, with private game settings. Obviously, it will be impossible to embark on the creation of a solitary character if you are in a group. Exchanges will not be allowed either.
Please note, the arrival of a mode 100% designed for solo play in Diablo III does not mean that it can be played offline on PC (as is the case for Diablo IV). But, fans can still tell themselves that they have been heard a little.
