Diablo 4’s surprise Gift of the Tree event is getting an extension due to the recent issues plaguing the game. It has been a big month forDiablo 4as the popular isometric action RPG launched its newest season called Sins of the Horadrim, though a recent update has seemingly soured the mood.
On July 15,Blizzard released a new update forDiablo 4, a common occurrence for the live-service nature of the game. Unfortunately, this update had a negative impact on the game with unexpected issues and bugs, including the game crashing for many PC players. The issues have become so bad that Blizzard even rolled back the PC version of the game to help stabilize things on that platform, while Blizzard continues to work on addressing the larger issues with the recent update.
Although the update had unforeseen consequences, the patch also saw the launch of asurprise in-gameDiablo 4event, the return of the Gift of the Tree. For a limited time, Grim Favors have been enhanced, offering players a chance to earn bonus caches, though with the recent game issues, it hasn’t been smooth sailing for players. As such, Diablo’s Director of Social & Content Marketing, Adam Fletcher, confirmed that the Gift of the Tree event will be extended to make up for the problems hampering the event. Unfortunately, a specific extension date has not been given as of yet.
