Summary

  • June 25 at 10 a.m. PDT marks the pre-download start for Diablo 4’s 3.1.0 patch on Battle.net, Xbox and PlayStation ahead of Season 14.
  • June 30 brings Season of Death Awakening, led by a Mythic Uniques overhaul that lets players convert any Unique into a crafted Mythic version with 30% stronger Unique powers.
  • Season 14 also adds Pandemonium Ruptures, Deathtoll Chambers and the new Risen enemy family, tying the seasonal loop to Superior Lair Keys and a new Lair Boss hoard.
  • The update graduates the Tower and leaderboards from beta, introduces Solo Self Found mode, and raises caps including 25,000 Obols and 999,999,999,999 gold.
  • Blizzard is using the patch to test whether broader item crafting and new seasonal systems can sustain momentum after Lord of Hatred and a lighter Season 13.
