When’s the last time that you were excited about Diablo III? It’s been a pretty quiet spring for the ARPG, but Blizzard is about to make some noise with the debut of Season 17 this week.
The Season of Nightmares (the studio’s title, not ours) kicks off on May 17th along with the latest update to the game. Players will enjoy an ongoing buff from the Legacy of Nightmares set, which should change up some builds. Blizzard’s also bringing back Season 5 rewards to anyone who missed out on those the first time around along with new cosmetics and gear sets.
Patch 2.6.5, which comes out next Friday, adds several quality-of-life features such as three new torment levels, a search function for players’ stashes, and this tantalizing note: “Portals left behind by Treasure Goblins may occasionally lead somewhere udderly ridiculous.” Unfortunately, Blizzard said that technical issues have kept the studio from expanding the stash as it had hoped.
