DARK REBIRTH UPDATE
- Revisit iconic locations in the Diablo universe with the Mad King’s manor and the brand new Tristram Cathedral Dungeon where you will face off against The Butcher and a new malicious enemy.
- Alley of Blood is an all-new team based, single-lane PvP activity where Shadow Clans can prove themselves in the Shadow War and clash against Immortals for bonuses in the new Vigil of Blades component of Cycle of Strife. Work together to overpower the opposing team, demolish their Sentry Towers, and bring ruin to their Crystal Heart.
- From 22 September AEST to 6 October AEDT, a 4v4 version of Alley of Blood will be available to players. This mode is perfect for new players, Players who don’t participate in the Cycle of Strife, and players who want some extra experience playing Alley of Blood.

Within the Faction menu of the Cycle of Strife tab, players can see the status of the conflict between Shadows and Immortals and cast their predictions for who will triumph. Those who cast a prediction will receive rewards and those that predict correctly will receive bonus rewards.
