While Diablo Immortal hasn’t had the best reception, the title continues to make headlines and pull in players. Blizzard has continued to roll out updates for the mobile title, dedicated to making the fan experience better–or, at least, putting the microtransaction news to rest. A major patch released in late September didn’t impress, focusing on Warbands, an aspect of the game that many dislike. Today’s update may turn the mood around, as it’s bringing with it the Hallow’s Wake limited-time event, two gorgeous cosmetic sets, the Infernal Knowledge limited-time event, much-needed bug fixes, and more.
From October 19 until November 2, players can partake in the Halloween event titled Hallow’s Wake. According to the official blog, the boundary separating the living and dead will be extra thin during this time, so players will need to watch out for demons and spirits. Players level 20 and up can participate to snag special rewards, including the Ghosted Emote, Hallowed Choker Portrait Frame, and Strawman Sack Mask.
The Infernal Knowledge event will begin today and will run until October 26. By completing daily tasks, players will snag additional rewards.
Until November 8, players can also participate in the Recruit a Friend campaign. To recruit players, you’ll need to be Level 20. See the details here.
Additionally, players will also be able to craft 5-Star Legendary Gems using the new currency, Telluric Pearls. These can be earned by participating in limited-time events, purchased from the in-game store, or exchanged for Hilts from the Hilt Vendor in Westmarch.
The update is also bringing with it the Hallowed Dead Standard Cosmetic Set and the Waltz Macabre Standard Cosmetic Set. The Waltz Macabre set will be available from the in-game shop for 1,000 Eternal Orbs starting today. The Hallowed Dead Set will also set players back 1,000 Eternal Orbs and will be available from October 19 until November 2.

Diablo Immortal is available to play on mobile devices and PC. Released in June, the title takes place between Diablo II and Diablo III. Despite fans’ passion for the series, the title has faced backlash for its use of microtransactions and its progression system. Despite this, Immortal had the biggest launch in Diablo history with over 10 million downloads. By the end of July 2022, it had reached 30 million downloads.
