The Darkening of Tristram returns to Diablo 3! As a celebratory anniversary event for the game, Blizzard marks another year with said event, which means shiny new loot, unique rewards, tough enemies, and dungeons.

Players will seek out groups of “mysterious cultists” wreaking havoc in Sanctuary by joining Adventure Mode. After bountiful exploration, players will find themselves in the midst of RetroVision, “where an all-too-familiar cathedral looms.” Of course, The Darkening of Tristram is all about the loot. By scouring the maps and destroying all in your path, players will find various items like portraits, pets, transmog effects, and more. Check out the details below::

Stop the Cultists

Your journey begins on the trail of a group of mysterious cultists causing trouble in Sanctuary. As you hunt them down in Adventure Mode, you’ll uncover clues leading to a portal into Tristram’s past, and the terrifying darkness that took hold of the town so many years ago. . . .

Explore the Cathedral

Follow the clues and you’ll soon find yourself in a realm of glorious RetroVision™, where an all-too-familiar cathedral looms. Explore the depths and you’ll discover familiar enemies and iconic items, all brought to life in the Diablo III engine. Meanwhile, deep beneath the catacombs, the Dark Lord himself awaits any intrepid adventurer who dares to challenge him. . . .

Discover Precious Loot

What is a Diablo game without shiny new loot to call your own? Completing activities in the anniversary event yields unique transmogrification effects, achievements, portraits, pets, and more. While some rewards are easy to find, others may have you scouring every nook or unlocking every achievement before you can get your hands on them. Can you earn them all? There’s only one way to find out!

Even though cultists have been appearing since December 31st, the real Diablo 3: The Darkening of Tristram event begins January 3rd when portals open at 4 PM (PST). The event ends on January 31st at 4 PM (PST). Are you prepared to face the wrath of hell?
