New Diablo 4 event turbocharges shrines

Diablo IV gears up to enhance gameplay with its new Lunar Awakening event starting February 6th and running until February 20th. The event, which celebrates the Chinese Lunar New Year, will benefit both Seasonal and Eternal Realms players. Shrines scattered across Sanctuary will grant buffs including a significant 50% XP bonus, 30% movement speed increase, among other advantages. Special event currency, Ancestors Favor, can be obtained by activating these shrines and defeating monsters. Players can spend this currency at the Lunar Night Market hosted by new NPC Ying-Yue, and purchase Lunar Renewal-themed rewards. Even after the event concludes, players can activate Nightmare Dungeons with an Ancestor’s Favor Affix to continue reaping benefits. Prepare for enhanced shrine powers, new themed bounties, and unique rewards during this limited time event.

Players can anticipate a variety of enhancements, including empowered shrines providing substantial buffs like 50% bonus XP and 30% increased movement speed. Additionally, they can collect an exclusive event currency to redeem for Lunar New Year-themed cosmetics and items at the Lunar Night Market. Moreover, special Nightmare Dungeons with unique event affixes extend the event's bonuses beyond its timeframe.
