by

Blizzard Entertainment is gearing up for the return of Diablo III’s Darkening of Tristram event, the annual celebration that takes players back to the old days of Diablo. Players will be able to trace their steps back to “the earliest days of Diablo,” according to Blizzard, while also earning some new loot along the way. The Darkening of Tristram 2020 event is scheduled to start first on December 31st, with more stages of the event in the days after.

On Blizzard’s site for the latest mainline Diablo game, Blizzard outlined the plans for it Diablo III’s Eclipse of Tristram event. It kicks off at 4:00 p.m. PST on December 31 when players encounter a group of troubling cultists in Sanctuary, before opening a portal on January 3 that allows players to dive deeper into the event. Tristram’s eclipse will then continue until January 31.

“Your journey begins on the trail of a group of mysterious cultists causing trouble in Sanctuary,” Blizzard said of the upcoming Diablo III event. “As you track them down in Adventure mode, you’ll discover clues that lead to a portal to Tristram’s past and the terrifying darkness that gripped the city so many years ago …”

Players can take that portal that will open in a few days to return to a cathedral that was present in the original Diablo game. A butcher pet, banners, transmogrification effects and more rewards await those who can find them in the cathedral.

“While some rewards are easy to find, others can prompt you to scavenge every corner or unlock every achievement before you can get your hands on them,” Blizzard teased. Can you earn them all? There is only one way to find out! “

Diablo III’s The Darkening of Tristram event is scheduled to start on December 31st and will take place in full on January 3rd.
