Diablo 4 may have already had a midwinter event, but that isn’t going to stop them from bringing some holiday cheer. It looks like we are getting Christmas in Sanctuary with a ‘Slay Ride to Hell’ event starting on December 17.
The event hasn’t been officially announced by Blizzard yet; it was instead spotted on the PlayStation dashboard by a Redditor.
You all asked for it (repeatedly and angrily) from r/diablo4
The event is said to last from December 17 through December 31, giving players two whole weeks to farm rewards and murder some holiday goblins. It seems similar to the March of the Goblins event we’ve had previously, but with a festive twist. While it might not seem particularly imaginative to me, there could be more to it when the event is officially announced, which, given the start date, should be any day now.
Diablo 4 Season 7 PTR has just finished
Season 7 of Diablo 4 starts in January (exact date to be announced), and the testing phase in PTR 2.1 has just concluded. Blizzard is no doubt hard at work implementing changes based on player feedback. Season 7 will introduce several quality-of-life updates, including an armory to save multiple build setups, significant class balancing to address the current imbalance (with Spiritborn dominating the Tier list), and a collection of new Uniques.
The season theme will allow players to wield the powers of Witchcraft and explore a themed overworld area called the ‘Headhunt’—essentially a Helltide variant that players are already nicknaming the ‘Witchtide.’ Feedback from the PTR has been mixed, with concerns about the theme feeling repetitive and too similar to the Season 2 Vampyric content. With many players now gravitating toward Path of Exile 2, the pressure is on for Blizzard to deliver a successful and engaging new season.
