Diablo 4 Update 1.0.3 Changelog Revealed

Love it, hate it or some combination of the two, Diablo 4 has proven to be quite the hit. I’m still a fan of the original two really, I somehow skipped 3 and have been waiting to play 4, but I’m a patient gamer these days and happy to wait till it’s been patched and modded to end ends of the Earth before I get stuck in. With that in mind, this latest update sees quite a few tweaks and changes to the game!

Blizzard has released Title Update 1.0.3 for Diablo 4, and you’ll be glad to hear they’ve released a complete changelog too. Given that the update will adjust balance and classes, as well as deal with a bunch of bugs, it’s worth reading through if you’re currently playing the game, as the update is not optional due to the always online nature of the game.

It’s not a big update, just 200MB, but there are plenty of tweaks, which you can check out below. For a complete list of changes for all classes head to the official site here.
