Diablo IV’s patch journey is a rollercoaster ride | Kaser Focus

I’ve spent some time playing Diablo IV, initially with the intention of giving it a full review. But to be honest, I’m having too much fun muddling through it at a leisurely pace. By the time I’m review-ready, it’ll be time to get stuck into Baldur’s Gate 3 (and speaking of, having Final Fantasy XVI on my PS5 doesn’t do wonders for my attention span either). Instead, I’ve been following the ongoing saga of Diablo IV’s latest patch — and it’s been a wild journey.

First patch 1.1.0 came out and obliterated any sense of oomph players had, and then came several days of Blizzard apologies and promises of a fix. Blizzard finally announced patch 1.1.1 today, which launches on August 8. I doubt that will be an end to the drama, but it’s at least been fun watching the journey to get to this point.
