Diablo Immortal’s anniversary update adds a sequel’s worth of upgrades

Diablo Immortal patch notes are here for the game’s anniversary update, Destruction’s Wake, and they’re absolutely massive. This Diablo Immortal patch changes the way combat works in Blizzard’s crossover RPG game, along with adding new zones, quests, skills, legendary items and gems, and a whole bunch more. If you’ve had Immortal on the back burner while making your best Diablo 4 builds, it might be time to check back in.

Most of the biggest upgrades are tied to the new difficulty, Inferno. You’ll get there once you reach Paragon Level 800, but don’t worry if you’re behind – Blizzard is giving players a giant 1,500% XP boost to help you catch up to the new content. Once there, you’ll unlock new Stances, which allow you to switch between Offensive and Defensive forms mid-combat, each with their own set of buffs and bonuses.

You’ll also get some new skills, regardless of which class you’re playing, and you’ll be able to get your hands on the best Diablo Immortal Legendary Gems much more easily using special drop tables in Elder Rifts that let you select exactly which gems you want to target, guaranteeing drops that will come from your chosen pool.

These changes are so vast and all-encompassing, it basically feels like a full second year of content right out of the gate. As such, I won’t spend too long waffling on about each individual detail – instead, we’ve laid them all out in full for you below.
