Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls will be updated in 2017 with a range of 20th anniversary content, including a special recreation of the original Diablo labyrinth, Blizzard has announced.

20th Anniversary Dungeon

The original Diablo labyrinth is back in Diablo III form.

  • Nostalgia Can Be Deadly: Recreated the events, monsters, and levels from the original Diablo.
  • Fresh(ened up) Meat: Original Diablo, The Butcher, Skeleton King, and Lazarus return as epic boss fights.
  • Presented in Glorious RetroVision: Special ‘90s-inspired audio and visual filters for that “classic” look.

The Necromancer

Wield the power of the dead with Diablo III’s newest playable hero class.

  • Master of the Dark Arts: Her magic draws from the power of blood and bone.
  • The Old Skills and the New: Command an Army of the Dead, control a mighty Blood Golem … and make all the corpses EXPLODE!
  • Necromantic Sets and Legendaries: The Necromancer will be able to collect many rare treasures of unearthly power, including new Legendaries and Set items.
  • Rise of the Necromancer Pack will include the character, an in-game pet, two character slots, two stash tabs, a portrait frame, pennant, banner and banner sigil. (Pricing TBD)

Explore Deadly New Zones

The foul stench of evil continues to spread across Sanctuary.

  • Shrouded Moors: This harsh, inhospitable land has been abandoned for centuries.  But something stirs within its perpetual fog—as though a dark presence has taken hold.
  • Temple of the Firstborn: An ancient monument to the earliest nephalem. The temple is hidden beneath the surface of Sanctuary, where it has escaped the notice of most mortals.

Seasons Coming to Console: Console and PC Seasons will align in Season 10

Console Seasons will include the Season Journey, Leaderboards, and all rewards and cosmetics.
