    Diablo III Celebrates 10 Years

    Diablo III is celebrating its 10th anniversary! In addition to double bounty caches for the remainder of Season 26 and Echoing Nightmare becoming a permanent feature, you can also purchase the 10th anniversary artwork from the official gear store.

    Exactly 10 years ago today, brave Nephalem arrived in the town of New Tristram to investigate a falling star. This discovery would give way to a divine ally and a quest to stop a sinister plot to destroy Sanctuary and the High Heavens. Even after the final blow was struck, and Diablo defeated, these same valiant Nephalem continued to protect those in need. We—and Sanctuary—thank you for your decade-worth of valor, dedication, and your vanquishing of endless nightmarish threats to have been birthed by the Burning Hells.

     

    Remember, this 10-year milestone for Diablo III was made possible by YOU, Nephalem, many of whom have spent countless hours demon-slaying, looting, and creating memorable moments to look back on. To show our undying appreciation for the support of more than 65 million Nephalem worldwide over the past 10 years, we have an exciting announcement for the Echoing Nightmare and will be providing a mid-season buff. But first, we want to thank you once more for celebrating the 10th anniversary of Diablo III with us!

    Echoing Nightmare Update

    Since Season 26 began, many Nephalem have sought to avenge their fallen allies in the Echoing Nightmare. We have received positive feedback around the Echoing Nightmare and are truly glad to see you’ve enjoyed battling the horrors of Nephalem’s past while gaining experience and powerful loot along the way.

     

    Therefore, the Echoing Nightmare will become a permanent feature in Diablo III. Creating challenging, new, and exciting end-game experiences is always top of mind for us, so we’re excited to be keeping this experience around for good. This experience will be available for year-round play. If you have not had the opportunity to try the Echoing Nightmare out yet, get a taste of what it entails from our Season 26 blog.

    Mid-Season Double Bounties Event

    The reward for hunting down some of Sanctuary’s most wanted just got a little sweeter! All bounties will be doubled from now until Season 26 ends. Here’s a breakdown of how you’ll have the chance to score more Legendary loot, such as the coveted Ring of Royal Grandeur.

     

    After completing all five bounties in an act, you will be rewarded with twice the Horadric Caches you would normally receive, as dictated by the difficulty level you’re playing on. Reward drop rates will remain unchanged during this event. But more caches mean more opportunities to obtain that essential piece of gear that will bolster your Nephalem’s build. For a refresher on the bounty-exclusive Legendary items that may be obtained from Horadric Caches, check out our Game Guide.

     

    There are many hardy foes peppered throughout Sanctuary for you to collect the bounty on—venture forth and dare to lay claim to the spoils!

    Immortalize Ten Years of Diablo III

    Diablo III will only turn 10 once. Adorn your wall with imagery forged from the Burning Hell’s finest artisans by getting the exclusive 10th Anniversary Diablo III artwork. Make haste, Nephalem, they’re HOT!

    Zone Preview: Realm of Damnation

     

    If you haven’t followed Diablo Immortal’s Closed Beta Test, this preview picks up where the zone of Frozen Tundra leaves off. If you missed that preview, you can catch up here. Spoilers ahead.

     

    Diablo® Immortal’s™ launch storyline sends you racing after the cataclysmic shards of the Worldstone, the artifact used to create Sanctuary. After you’ve explored frozen wastes and festering swamps and cemeteries choked with the risen dead, your quest will take you somewhere people who played the Closed Beta haven’t seen yet.

     

    The Realm of Damnation is the personal hell of a demon lord. It’s a corner of the Burning Hells where Skarn, the mastermind pursuing the Worldstone shards, gets to play judge, jury, and executioner (repeatedly).

     

    I’m Ryan Quinn, Narrative Designer on Diablo Immortal, and I’ll be your guide to Skarn’s plane of agony and rebirth along with Hunter Schulz, Art Director.

     

    At the end of the Frozen Tundra story quest, you’ll follow Skarn into his lair and uncover what he’s been planning for humanity and the Worldstone—but you won’t immediately come face to face with the Lord of Damnation or all of his forces.

    The Forest of Misery

    There is an impulse to limit hellish landscapes to one note, and there shouldn't be a question whether you are in Hell or not, but Diablo Immortal’s zone maps are large, and we really like having visual variation to keep your journey interesting and make it easier to remember locations and cool moments.

     

    First, you’ll need to fight through the twisted canopies of the Forest of Misery. In the darkness swarm Rasplets and Gnarled Pawns, demons who’ve failed Skarn and had their bodies fused with parts of the realm as punishment.

     

    The Old Growth, voiced by James Goode, is the most massive, venerable danger in the woods.

     

    We tried to reflect environmental shapes and colors in the Realm of Damnation's creature design (taking a breather from the classic reddish demon you see elsewhere in the fires of Hell).

    We wanted the pawns to feel at home in this environment, as if they had evolved there, or at the very least been transformed by it.

     

    The Last Vestige

    Years ago, a group of angel sentinels discovered the Realm of Damnation while it was taking shape from hellish chaos. Cut off from the Heavens and trapped, they’ve carved out a foothold in Skarn’s home. As you leave the Forest of Misery behind, you’ll join the survivors in their besieged encampment: The Last Vestige.

    The angels’ warleader, Verathiel, is utterly relentless; her band has been hunting demonic threats outside the Battlefields of Eternity for eons. But being stranded in the Realm of Damnation is a greater challenge than any they’ve faced. As the wielder of the angelic dagger Yl’nira, you have a chance to gather some allies in Hell. . .if you can save them from a truly awful fate.

    Skarn, Lord of Damnation

    At the end of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction™, the archangel Tyrael realized that the Worldstone had been corrupted, and he shattered it before it could doom all of Sanctuary. The resulting disaster discorporated Tyrael, and ruined Arreat and much of the north. Skarn wants nothing more than to pick up the pieces.

     

    Painting by Brom

     

    Yet little has been recorded of him. At the defeat of the Prime Evils in Diablo II, war was raging within the Hells, with no clear victor despite great evils like Azmodan and Belial claiming massive realms of their own. Skarn flourished during this age, but demonologists cannot say whether he led an army, or simply used the conflict as an opportunity to capture parts of the Hells for himself. Most do not even know him by name.

     

    What is clear about Skarn is his abiding interest in humanity. In just a few years, he has gathered a massive cult of followers who tempt and deceive to swell their ranks among the Western Kingdoms. The power of creation is nearly at their disposal.

    Sounds of the Realm

    Our audio team really pushed themselves to make sure Skarn’s cruelty and grand ambitions take root in every ominous corner of the zone. Give a listen to “Realm of Damnation.”

     

    You’ll hear plenty from Skarn, voiced by Steve Blum, and Verathiel, voiced by Kimberly Brooks, once the Realm of Damnation is in your hands.

    Demon Gates

    Nothing about this environment is inviting--it's a graveyard of bones and spiny rocks! Thin membranes underneath it all hold back the hellish, fiery core from below.

     

    Skarn’s domain is bloated with activities, and you can expect the same kinds of wilderness gameplay present in Immortal’s other zones: lairs, bounties, events, quests, and plenty of loot.

     

    Zones in Diablo Immortal are vast spaces packed with enemies, events, hidden lairs, and treasure. As a point of reference: in red, the map outline of Diablo III's Fields of Misery; in blue, the Realm of Damnation.

     

    There are also unique challenges you’d only find in Hell. Demon Gates appear multiple times per day in random locations throughout the Realm of Damnation. To bolster his armies, Skarn has opened his doors to demons from elsewhere in the Burning Hells. Demons arrive through portals throughout the zone on a timer—with a party of three, you can hunt down where they’ll emerge, enter their gateways, and kill them before they lend further power to the legions of Damnation. These fights are kinetic encounters with significant rewards, and you’ll be able to earn bonus loot from three per day.

    New Dungeon – Pit of Anguish

    Similarly vital to Skarn’s plot are the Pits of Anguish—spawning pools for Abyssal Gargantuans buried deep in the Hells. One pit in particular serves as our dungeon for the zone; when you set foot on its shores, you’ll battle blade-wielding demonic cultivators and tackle a screen-filling boss fight with the most blood by volume of any in the game.

     

    Zaka is one of the more memorable enemies you'll run into in the Realm of Damnation. One thing that isn't instantly clear is this illustration in his size; there's also a twist to this boss battle we're excited to see players react to.

     

    In every Diablo game, your journey takes you from landscapes that are bleak and seemingly real to places that are truly otherworldly. We’re excited to show off a new facet of the Burning Hells, one that’s got a couple twists on the lava and horns you might expect.

     

    Don’t let that statement worry you. We still love lava and horns—you'll see. On behalf of the Diablo Immortal team: we hope you are ready for Hell!
