"Diablo 3" Anniversary Patch trailer that marks the 20th anniversary of the original "Diablo" brings a new outline of the genius behind the major update, which is set to come in January. Unfortunately, those who have been waiting for new details regarding the "Diablo 3" patch 2.4.3 in the new video might be disappointed, as no further information was provided by Blizzard.
The "Diablo 3" Anniversary Patch recreates first "Diablo"
In the latest entry of the "Diablo" series, the "Diablo 3", 16 new levels will be added, which will be accessed by joining a global event that involves cultists that remain loyal to Adria the Witch. When the short quest chain has been completed, the players are expected to get accessed to the new levels that reportedly use a new visual filter that aims to recreate the first "Diablo's" grainy textures.
"Diablo 3's" boss battles have also been retooled, including the Butcher. With that, the community is believed to find other easter eggs within the new levels. Furthermore, the NPCs and the players may also use the classic eight-direction movement technique, which is used by RPGs and dungeon crawlers of its era.
"Diablo 3," meantime, is now available on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and the PC. The new Anniversary Patch, on the other hand, is set to come to the PC in late January, Gamespot reported.
