We probably won’t see a public Diablo 4 beta date before Christmas, but you can celebrate the holiday season in a Diablo 3 event that offers a bunch of helpful resources and a collection of free cosmetic transmogs and pets. The fantasy game has unveiled a Diablo 3 Hellish Holiday event that sees winter arrive in Sanctuary alongside a bunch of troublesome Hell’s helpers, who have stolen all the presents for their own nefarious deeds.
The Diablo 3 Hellish Holiday runs December 16 – February 5, meaning that you’ll actually have plenty of time to cosy up away from the frosty weather and stay warm with some demon slaying. During the event, defeating Treasure Goblins and Greater Rift Guardians will have a chance to drop a special ‘Holiday Gift’ item that can be opened for all manner of tasty rewards.
Diablo 3 Holiday Gift contents
You can get Diablo 3 Holiday gifts from Treasure Goblins and Greater Rift Guardians, but the latter will have an increased drop rate due to their tougher nature. Up-front, Blizzard says that every Holiday Gift will always contain the following:
