Nearly two weeks on from Diablo IV‘s launch, and now Diablo Immortal is getting a massive update for its first anniversary. This will be the game’s fourth major update since it launched back in 2022 and according to the development team, the biggest major update yet.
That means it’ll be the game’s biggest update ever. There’s an absolutely staggering amount of content coming to Diablo Immortal with this new update and that should excite fans of the game. Especially now with Diablo IV available to play. As you now have more ways to slay demons across Sanctuary than ever.
From new limited time events to new skills for each class, the first anniversary update for Diablo Immortal has a lot to offer. And whether you’re a veteran player, a newcomer, or returning to the game after a long hiatus, the update should provide you with something fun and rewarding.
First anniversary update for Diablo Immortal goes live this week
While the update isn’t quite here, it is just around the corner. Blizzard confirms it will go live this week, with server maintenance happening on Thursday and Friday. Servers will go down from 5pm to 7pm PDT for the Oceania, China, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe servers on June 14. The same will happen for the servers in the Americas on June 15 from 1am to 3am PDT. After which all content will be live for all players on their respective servers.
As for content, everything begins with a new zone and questline called the Ancients’ Cradle. You’ll need to be on Hell difficulty VI before you can start this questline. Or even reach the new zone for that matter. So if you’ve not played in a while, you’ll have catching up to do.
Luckily, Blizzard has you covered there. If your paragon level is lower than your server’s paragon level, you’ll be given a 1,500% experience boost to help you get up to level.
New limited time events, new legendary items, and more
The new questline is just the tip of the iceberg. With new gear and new skills coming for each of the game’s available classes. There will be one new skill for each class, and 36 new legendary items being added to the game. Additionally, there’s three new legendary gems being added, and a new ‘Stances’ combat mechanic.
Worth noting is that most of this is only available once you reach the new Inferno difficulty. Of which there are multiple tiers. You’ll need to be at least paragon level 800 to reach Inferno and to unlock its second and third tiers you have to face off against a new collection of foes called the ‘Hearthrot Demons.’ There’s loads more content included with this update, and you can read about all the finer details in Blizzard’s official post.
