Good news, Diablo fans – Diablo 4 is running a bonus XP/Gold event, Mother's Blessing, to celebrate the (US — not for us in the UK, sadly) holiday weekend.
As Diablo's official Xitter account puts it, «only a fool refuses her bounty», which is a not-so-subtle hint to get stuck in and earn 25 per cent more XP and gold from now until 5th September.
«Rise, wanderer, and stand triumphant before your hoard of spoils,» Blizzard says. «An alluring glow descends across the land, increasing the clarity and temperament of all stalwart warriors. Scholars have unlocked new secrets in their ancient tomes, while coffers threaten to burst with gold unearthed from long-forgotten crypts.
»How will you seize your fortunes in this brief glimpse of splendour? Make haste to hone your blade across a weekend of adventure and plunder to become the deadliest force in all of Sanctuary."
We have a XP/Gold event starting September 1st in-game through the weekend. (Holiday weekend for some!) https://t.co/eSBoF0meyZ
The bonus applies to both Seasonal and Eternal Realms and all World Tiers, plus it stacks, too, so «make sure you pair them with Elixirs and the Urn of Experience to maximise your experiences gains».
Just look for the new in-game icon beside your potion count that will «signify in the increased rate of earning».
ICYMI, After «diligently monitoring your feedback», Blizzard's 1.1.3 Diablo 4 patch is now live on all platforms.
First up on the docket are Monsters, and specifically, the monster abilities and elite affixes that apply to Crowd Control effects. Blizzard says these changes are aimed at the player having «less time being Crowd Controlled and receiving more recovery time after being Crowd Controlled, especially at higher World Tiers».

With gaining popularity, many fans want to know if the series’ lead is related to, due to them looking so alike. Is he a close relative of the late Willy Wonka star, which would explain why they look like one another? Here’s all you need to know.
The US Department of Defense is looking to improve America's battery technology expertise, and it's giving the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) $30 million to figure out how to do that.
It’s fall! Movies are back, but movies are also on TV — just not how you’d think.
Welcome to the weekend – and to another batch of recommendations of all the best new streaming releases. It's a big week for movies, with some of the summer's biggest hits now available to watch at home: Pixar's most recent release Elemental is now on Disney Plus and Fast X is now streaming on Peacock. In other movie news, El Conde, the latest film from Spencer and Jackie director Pablo Larraín, is now on Netflix, and recently released comedy Theater Camp is streaming on Hulu.
It’s a somewhat slow week in streaming TV; sure, as ever you’ve got a million shows that you could catch up on, current or otherwise. But as far as actual new premieres go, it’s a relatively quiet week.
Diablo III’s Season 29, Visions of Enmity, arrives this week. While the 29th season is the final all-new themed season, the team has a message about the future, and how this season lays the foundation for what’s to come.
Happy Friday, Polygon readers!
As another week draws to a close, we're back with some more streaming recommendations. From brand new releases to opportunities to catch up on cinema releases at home, there's something for everyone here.
There's a lot of crossover between video games and board games, and not only through their shared use of the word game. Fans of one quite often also enjoy the other which is why there are so many examples of video games being turned into board games and vice versa. A very popular example of that vice versa is Stardew Valley: The Board Game which sold out pretty sharpish. The good news is ConcernedApe has revealed they're back in stock and pre-orders are available now.
Diablo Immortal’s latest update goes live tomorrow, with the Trial of the Hordes Unleashed PvP event, other returning events, Battlegrounds and matchmaking changes, and more.
It’s impressive when someone manages to create a beloved game experience on their own; or at the very least with a small team. Such was the case with Stardew Valley , and its developer Eric Barone, also known by the pseudonym “ConcernedApe.” What’s even more impressive than that, though, is how that experience was converted into a highly coveted board game. While Stardew Valley: The Board Game was available for a limited run, it’s coming back very soon.
