The newDiablo 4update has added new Unique weapons and Legendary Aspects.Diablo 4is getting closer to Season 1, but first, the game is making several adjustments and bringing new content to players.
Diablo 4announced Season 1 earlier this month and gave it the gloomy name “Season of the Malignant.” The reason is the new theme and core mechanic Blizzard will be adding toDiablo 4: malignance.Diablo 4players will team up with Cormond, a former priest of the Cathedral of Light, to discover the source and stop the spread of the Malignant throughout Sanctuary. Because of the theme,Diablo 4Season 1 will add Malignant Heartsand other “malignant content” like enemies, powers, and tunnels that function as the game’s new dungeons.

Diablo 4has released Patch 1.1.0 and added six new Unique weapons and seven new Legendary Aspects. With the new patch, each ofDiablo 4’s five classes is getting a new Unique, these being Azurewrath (Barbarian’s Unique Sword), Fleshrender (Druid’s Unique One-Hand Mace), Lidless Wall (Necromancer’s Unique Shield), Eaglehorn (Rogue’s Unique Bow), and The Oculus (Sorcerer’s Unique Wand).Diablo 4’s list of Uber Uniques has also increased with the introduction of the Ahavarion Spear of Lycander, an extremely rare Uber Unique staff players can find on World Tier 4, thehighest difficulty inDiablo 4.
Diablo 4’s Legendary Aspects are extremely useful unique modifiers, as they can turn Rare items into Legendary ones. To get one of these aspects, the player can useDiablo 4’s Codex of Power, or slay demons to get Legendary items and extract the Aspects from them. With the release of Patch 1.1.0,Diablo 4’s classes received new offensive Aspects that are Ancestral Charge (Barbarian), Subterranean (Druid), Gore Quills (Necromancer), Pestilent Points (Rogue), and Searing Wards (Sorcerer). The new general Legendary Aspects forDiablo 4are Audacity, a utility Aspect that stuns nearby enemies, and Craven, an Aspect that increases movement speed when moving away from Slowed or Chilled enemies.
Diablo 4will begin Season 1 on July 20, meaning the time left for players to prepare is getting shorter. After all the buzz Blizzard’s game generated in the first month, players are waiting to seehowDiablo 4’s seasonal system will work, and how much it will engage the community in the long run.
