The team revealed that the anniversary event would be making a return and it would be kicking off on January 3rd, 2022.

Stop the Cultists: Your journey begins on the trail of a group of mysterious cultists causing trouble in Sanctuary. As you hunt them down in Adventure Mode, you'll uncover clues leading to a portal into Tristram's past, and the terrifying darkness that took hold of the town so many years ago.

Explore the Cathedral: Follow the clues and you'll soon find yourself in a realm of glorious RetroVision, where an all-too-familiar cathedral looms. Explore the depths and you'll discover familiar enemies and iconic items, all brought to life in the Diablo 3 engine. Meanwhile, deep beneath the catacombs, the Dark Lord himself awaits any intrepid adventurer who dares to challenge him. . . .

Discover Precious Loot: What is a Diablo game without shiny new loot to call your own? Completing activities in the anniversary event yields unique transmogrification effects, achievements, portraits, pets, and more. While some rewards are easy to find, others may have you scouring every nook or unlocking every achievement before you can get your hands on them. Can you earn them all? There's only one way to find out!

Your Journey Begins: Exclusive rewards and challenging enemies await you, but they won't last forever! The cultists will appear on December 31 at 4 p.m. PST, and the portal opens January 3 at the same hour. Both parts of the event end January 31 at 4 p.m. PST. Enter the dungeon, reap your rewards, and survive the evils within—or die in the process, never to be heard from again.
