Diablo Immortal's Third Major Update Brings Clan-Based Tower Defense And Cursed Items

Diablo Immortal's Age of Falling Towers update is right around the corner, and it will introduce a tower defense-inspired mode that will have the game's various clans duking it out for supremacy.

Each season, clans can attempt to claim and hold up to two towers (though each clan can only control one tower the first week of the season).

Clans will race to conquer as many Cursed Shards from defeated enemies as possible in order to claim victory.
