The Christmas event “Midwinter Plague” starts on December 12th and runs until January 2nd, 2024. As part of the event, the “Shattered Peaks” zone will be transformed into a “Winter Terrorland”, the counterpart of the regular Winter Wonderland.

    New class rings & challenges

    In addition to the winter event, there will be a new ring for each class in Season 2. Their functions are said to be based on the corrupted powers from Season 1.

    In Season 1 you were able to collect so-called spiteful hearts. With them you could equip your characters with four different buffs:

  • Devilish heart: Attack strength
  • Brutal Heart: Defensive strength
  • Tricky Heart: versatility
  • Wrathful heart: Super strength

    • The new update for Diablo 4, which will be rolled out next week, is intended to change the occultist. It will also ensure that players have a better overview of the attachment options for enchanted items.

    On December 5th, Blizzard will launch a new limited-time endgame event in Diablo 4: The Abbatoir of Zir. The event is for characters at level 100 who have already faced the toughest challenges to date.

    As soon as there is more information about Season 2, you will read it with us. Most recently, Blizzard also announced information about the first expansion for Diablo 4.
