Blizzard has shared exciting details about the upcoming Halloween event in Diablo 4, scheduled to run from October 29 at 10 AM PT to November 5 at the same time. This seasonal celebration promises players a variety of spooky activities and unique cosmetics that can be earned just by logging into the game during the event period.
Players can look forward to a range of Halloween-themed login rewards. Starting on October 29, the first reward is the Recluse’s Host Mount, which transforms the player’s horse into a creepy undead zombie horse.
The following day, October 30, players will receive the Ichorflame Torch Mount Trophy, designed to resemble a spidery torch. On Halloween, players can claim the Recluse’s Flask Mount Trophy, and on November 1, they can earn the Reclusive Trappings Mount Armor, adding a spidery flair to their mounts.
For those worried about missing out on these exclusive rewards, Blizzard has made it easy to collect them. If players don’t log in on the specific days, they can still claim any missed rewards retroactively by logging in before the cosmetics are removed from the in-game shop on November 5 at 12 PM PT. This flexibility allows players to enjoy the Halloween event without the stress of strict deadlines.
Adding an element of surprise to the event is a feature called “Meat or Treat,” which involves dungeon shrines. When players activate any shrine during the event, it will trigger a surprise effect in addition to the standard benefits of the shrine. This introduces an exciting layer of uncertainty, as players must decide whether the shrine will bring unexpected rewards or complicate their dungeon runs.
There is speculation that these surprise effects could include beneficial buffs or the frightening spawn of The Butcher, a well-known enemy in the game. Higher-level players might find this to be a good opportunity to farm experience points by facing off against The Butcher. Overall, Diablo 4’s Halloween celebration looks to offer a mix of enticing rewards, thrilling challenges, and fun that players can enjoy throughout the spooky season.
