The authors of Diablo 4 are preparing for the upcoming release of update 2.4.1. Blizzard Entertainment traditionally publishes a full description of the upcoming patch in advance. It includes various technical fixes, balance adjustments, and mechanics.
Previously, players complained about the spires from the "Infernal Hordes" mode — they have also been adjusted.
Some changes in patch 2.4.1:
- Now, when the Infernal Pact "Lurking Hellspawn" is in effect, Hellspawn will ambush more often.
- The radius of the soulspires has been increased. Monsters will attack more often from ambushes on players within the radius of the soulspires.
The developers believe that "with this change, the infernal hordes mode will become even more dynamic, and the soulspires will retain their status as a difficult challenge with a valuable reward."
- Fixed a bug where the wall of mist would not appear during the battle with Belial.
- Fixed a bug where the description of Belial's lair indicated a high probability of obtaining an infernal compass.
- Fixed a bug where the "Vile Stone" transport trophy, awarded for reaching level 300 of paragon, did not appear in the player's stables.
- Various improvements have been made to the interface, stability, graphics, and performance.
- Fixed a bug where the Barbarian's "Wrath of Berserker" passive effect increased the damage of "Tzogvin's Sabre" even if the skill was not upgraded to level 5.
- Fixed a bug where the Barbarian's "Spiked Armor" effect did not trigger from the use of basic skills if "Spiked Armor" was restored after the "Unstable Might" effect triggered.
- Fixed a bug where using the Stormclaw's Aspect together with "Exploit" did not increase the duration of the Necromancer's "Bone Storm".
- Fixed a bug where the Rogue's "Dark Shroud" did not deal overpowering damage if basic skills were used during the Chaos Gift "Unstable Might".
- Fixed a bug where the Aspect of Bursting Venoms did not set "Poison Traps".
- Fixed a bug where the Rogue's "Momentum" sometimes did not receive an additional effect.
- Fixed a bug where the Misty Step Aspect stunned the player when skeleton warriors teleported to them.
- Fixed a bug where progress on the "Blood on the Moors" quest was blocked if the player died during the boss fight.
- Fixed a bug where the wall of mist would not appear during the battle with Belial.
The release of update 2.4.1 for Diablo 4 is expected on October 7, 2025.
