Developer Blizzard Entertainment has taken to the official site to share the patch notes for the upcoming Diablo IV build 1.2.2 that lands on all platforms on November 7th. The patch will add new gameplay feature, the Malignant Rings, introduce some changes to the Season of Blood and further work on bug fixes.
In the Season of Blood, join forces with the Vampire Hunters, infuse your armour with Pacts, and embrace your newfound Vampiric Powers to thwart the crimson tide in a new seasonal storyline. Fight back against the vampiric invasion and stop the Vampire Lord Zir’s ascension with the help of new gameplay customisation options, including 10 new Paragon Glyphs, 12 unique items, and 7 new Legendary Aspects.
