Beginning January 1st, players can log into Diablo 3 to find the “Darkening of Tristram” event running yet again. The event pays homage to the original Diablo with a filtered look, original dungeon designs, and classic loot including throwbacks like the Butcher’s Cleaver and Wirt’s Leg. The event will run through the end of January ending on the 30th.

Our Take
Diablo 3 is over 6 years old now and continues to be supported actively by Blizzard. Looking back at the evolution of the title is enlightening and is demonstrative of how a game can flourish even when it doesn’t meet expectations at launch. If you haven’t jumped in to the classic Diablo feel before, certainly give it a try in January.
