Diablo Immortal has opened up the Writhing Abyss to all players. With a host of endgame content, the game invites players to descend into the Abyss’ depths.

In the next phase of the Age of Unmaking, the Writhing Abyss will appear following the game server maintenance on June 12, 2024.

Here are a few highlights that are coming with this update:

Abyssal Verge

This action-packed, open-world monster hunt challenges groups of up to four players to stay on the move, journeying across a portal world full of mist while killing as many monsters as possible.

Upon entering the Abyssal Verge, a dark shadow begins to creep in, surrounding the entire area. This lethal presence will grow in size while you slay through the Verge: many capable wanderers have fallen prey to its encircling grasp before.

Slay demons as quickly as possible while Terror Incarnate creeps, seeking to strangle your every move. Survive the encroaching madness and defeat the final boss to win the day. Begin by going to the basement of Cain’s workshop in Westmarch and selecting the Abyssal Verge.

Erbban

Modeled after the Purge the Depths game mode, groups of up to four players race against time to collect as many chests as possible, without being wiped out by monsters or traps. Explore the Castle to find hidden chests while progressing toward the final chest. Each Chest you find increases the amount of time you have to stay in Erebban, but it also increases your Danger Level – a measure of the challenges you’ll face. The higher your danger level, the greater the rewards.

The catch? You must also escape an invincible boss pursuing you!

Rune System and Equipment

The update introduces a Rune system to Diablo Immortal, allowing players to freely upgrade their gear and ascend to new heights. Found as drops from defeating enemies, Runes can be socketed into legendary gear or combined to form higher level Runes. Item progression will also add up to three additional affixes to legendary gear.

You can earn more Runes by collecting Abyssal Essence within the two new Terrorwrought realms of the Abyssal Verge and Erebban. Rayek has taken a keen interest in it; collect enough and he’ll be able to harness the power to craft random Runes.
