With "Diablo's" existence in the gaming world for two decades, it never failed to amaze gamers with its classic gameplay. The title is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary with many perks that players can take advantage of.

Blizzard Entertainment celebrates the "Diablo" 20th anniversary for the entire week and they are celebrating the event by making sure that players will see a "Diablo" influence in whatever Blizzard title they are playing. For instance, "World of Warcraft," players will have a chance to meet Azeroth, aside from the mob called Wyrmtongue Hoarder that will appear to give Sanctuary Coins at any given time across the map.

"Overwatch" players will also be able to experience "Diablo 3" by means of in-game sprays while "Starcraft II" fans can get a "Diablo"-themed worker portrait.

"Heroes of Storm" players, on the other hand, are to get a new map with a "Diablo"-themed portrait that they can win. This will be an extra challenge to the players since "Diablo" is already available as a hero in the game. Also, those playing "Hearthstone" can win a new card through the Tavern Brawl. They will face an enemy wearing a strange hood to get a grim deck.

The 20th anniversary of "Diablo" also comes with a season event called "Darkening of Tristram," which will feature the Old Tristram in the Adventure Mode. This will take the players to where "Diablo" has all begun with its original setting. There will be 16 dungeons to see and four original enemy bosses to defeat.

"Join us in Patch 2.4.3 as the 'Darkening of Tristram' kicks off and takes your nephalem back to the first time evil invaded a humble, tiny town in Sanctuary." With Blizzard's tendency to release patches for the game on Tuesdays, its more than likely that we will see that patch on Tuesday, January 3rd," announced Blizzard Entertainment wrote Blizzard Entertainment on Battle.net.
