Blizzard has released the patch notes for the huge Diablo 4 update that will kick off Season 3 on January 23. Diablo 4's first two seasons have been a mixed bag. The reaction to Diablo 4 Season 1 was largely negative, with many fans unhappy about the balance changes that Blizzard made to the game. The developers took the fan feedback to heart and quickly reverted the unpopular changes, with Season 2 better-received as a result.
Diablo 4 Season 2 had players dealing with a vampiric threat, while Season 3 will have players facing off against Malphas. Also known as Season of the Construct, Diablo 4 Season 3 is set to introduce a slew of new content and changes that are designed to keep dedicated players engaged as well as bring lapsed players back to the live service action-RPG. Time will tell if those efforts pay off, but Diablo 4 fans now have a much better idea of what to expect from Season 3 when it launches on January 23.
As revealed in the Diablo 4 Season 3 update patch notes, the game will be adding three new items: Paingorger's Gauntlets, Aspect of Adaptability, and the Juggernaut's Aspect. Existing items will be getting tweaked, with all the stats for the Melted Heart of Selig doubled, for example. All the Diablo 4 classes are being adjusted with the Season 3 update, and it will be interesting to see how fans react to those changes once the patch is live.
While Diablo 4 class changes, new items, and balance updates are likely what players are most interested in when it comes to the Season 3 patch notes, there are bug fixes to take into consideration as well. Diablo 4 players can look forward to fixes across the board, tackling lingering bugs and other issues that have plagued the game's quests, classes, and more. While there's always a risk of things going awry with any big game update like this, hopefully the Season 3 update succeeds at improving the Diablo 4 experience.
