Overview

  • From August 29 to September 1, the game is free on PC, PS5, and Xbox with no level caps or content restrictions.
  • The Third Edict launches August 29, adding a fourth act and removing the second full campaign run before the endless endgame.
  • Hundreds of patch changes include a major overhaul to support gems and a new league where green fissures spawn tougher, more rewarding enemies.
  • Players can unlock three exclusive cosmetics—a hood from the intro and a staff and backpack by completing Act One—during the event.
  • Grinding Gear says servers have been beefed up for the influx, and free players cannot pre-download before the season goes live at 1 pm PT on August 29.
