Blizzcon 2023 could not do without Diablo 4, one of the flagship games of this year 2023, and incidentally, one of the biggest Blizzard Entertainment franchises. What can we learn from the intervention of the game teams? The announcement trailer for the Vessel of Hatred DLC. The first paid expansion which will be available in 2024 on consoles and PC. This new content, which should be very impressive, will continue the story already started by bringing players back to the jungle of Nahantu. In addition to the accessible classes, the DLC will add a new one that is still unknown.
Along with this, Diablo 4 will be updated with patch 1.2.2 tomorrow, Tuesday, November 7. An update that will fix general and Season of Blood-specific bugs, as well as issues with questing, gameplay, accessibility, and various other things. As part of the Blood Assaults event, “Pillar Health” will be increased from 75% to 85% and cooldown reduced from 3 to 1 second. This patch will also enhance Diablo 4 with five new evil rings that can be collected in both seasonal and eternal realms.
There is also a change to optimize objects for high-level content. “During the Season of Blood, in response to community feedback, the Occultist will now display a preview of potential affixes available before the selected item is enchanted”. If you are looking for a challenge, the Abattoir de Zir will be there to meet your needs. “Zir’s Slaughterhouse is the ultimate challenge, and we recommend only using your best builds and your characters at their peak of power at level 100. Please note that all rewards obtained in Zir’s Slaughterhouse last until the end of the blood season ». However, you will have to wait until December 5 to participate, until January 23, 2024, and complete the last stage of Diablo 4’s seasonal journey.

From December 5 to 21, 2023, Diablo 4 is hosting the Scourge of Winter event. “Eliminate the cursed demonic creatures and be careful, as you may receive an unwelcome visit from the Red-Caped Horror. Restore Winter Square and protect the festive atmosphere! » (via Blizzard). What’s next? Season 3 which should arrive in January 2024, without a more precise date. However, the publisher has already given a slight preview of the new features with a new event: The tournament. A “non-linear” PvP dungeon where the goal is to achieve the best possible scores by using skills wisely. “Players will need to collect evidence of power to contribute to their overall score. They can be obtained by killing monsters and destroying objects in The Tournament ».
The weekly rankings will remind you of the challenges of the competition. “Weekly leaderboards track scores between Hardcore and Normal characters, party sizes, and classes”. If you are among the most talented, you will reach the “Ancestral Pantheon”, but beware of slacking off, because the counters are reset to zero every week.
