Diablo 3 Patch 2.4 Launching January 12th

Diablo 3's enormous 2.4 update is scheduled to launch on January 15th.

The headline feature is Greyhollow Island, a brand new zone designed explicitly for the game's endless Adventure Mode, described as a "mysterious forested locale is steeped in intrigue, [where] rumors abound that those who visit are doomed to never return.' It's the first area to have been designed from the ground up for the endlessly replayable adventure mode, rather than as part of a campaign, which has allowed Blizzard to experiment with some more non-linear storytelling approaches. Players will be able to try and piece together clues as to what happened on the island and unravel it's mysteries to their conclusion, or simply go hunting for bounties as per usual. Two other existing game areas have been expanded as well – Leoric's Manor has had the Royal Quarters added, and the Ruins of Sescheron gains the Eternal Woods.
