Diablo 4 Season 1 is nearing its conclusion, and Season 2 is scheduled to commence in mid-October. Fans are understandably cautious, given the content drought that afflicted the first season.
Nonetheless, Blizzard's team is diligently releasing incremental updates, smaller patches that address issues like stability, bug fixes, and more. The latest of these updates is set to go live next week, as recently announced by Blizzard.
Diablo 4 Patch 1.1.4 Notes:
In a post on Blizzard News, the studio revealed that update 1.1.4 will become available on all platforms on Tuesday, September 12. The most significant addition in this latest build is an increased XP bonus for the Urn of Aggression Season Blessing.
Other aspects of 1.1.4 are primarily focused on resolving bugs, enhancing stability, and similar improvements. In essence, it's not the substantial content update that Diablo 4 players are eagerly awaiting. Below are the detailed patch notes:
