Diablo IV: Season of the Construct Adds Tough New Vaults, a Robo Companion, More This Month

wccftech.com:

We heard last week that Diablo IV Season 3 would be dropping this month, and today Blizzard fully unveiled what that update will entail. Diablo IV: Season of the Construct has a steampunk-ish theme, with new mechanical enemies, and allies, being added to the game.

There are 12 Governing Stones and 27 different Tuning Stones of different rarities to seek out in the Vaults to unlock the full power of the Seneschal construct.

Tuning and Governing Stones can be acquired in a few different ways. Complete Vaults to earn one random Tuning Stone and seek out Wardwoven Chests to earn additional Tuning Stones-- both of which can be earned through various levels of the Season Journey. […] To unlock the full power of the Stones, you will need to increase their raw power by levelling them. Collect or craft duplicates of the same Stones, fuse them together to grant experience and eventually level up your currently held Stones.”
