In celebration of 20 years of “Diablo,” the “Diablo” 20th Anniversary patch for “Diablo III” goes live today, January 5. 
 
This patch allows players to participate in a special event called “The Darkening of Tristram.” In said event, players can explore a recreation of the original “Diablo” game’s cathedral – complete with its 16 dungeon levels, bosses, monsters, and events. 
 
To make the experience as retro as possible, a “RetroVision” filter gives the cathedral grainy, pixelated visuals, while the music and sound effects are taken from the original game. Additionally, while players are free to use “Diablo III’s” character classes, each class is limited to 8 directions of movement.
