Diablo IV Is Getting the Gauntlet Endgame Dungeon and Vampiric Powers as Legendary Aspects on March 5
During yesterday's Campfire Chat, Blizzard announced the release date of the next major Diablo IV patch. On March 5, players will be able to access the previously delayed Gauntlet endgame dungeon.

Based on the final score, players will be assigned four ranks of Seals: Seal of the Blooded, Seal of the Steadfast, Seal of the Iron-Willed, and Seal of the Worthy.
