The whole "Diablo" fandom is pretty much aware by now that Blizzard Entertainment is all set in recommissioning one of the game's uniquely-powered combatants known as the Necromancer. That being said, the multi-awarded game developer has also dished out a new update in which many believe will pave the way for the upcoming Necromancer patch next year.

Just like any other patches, the 2.4.3 tweak has provided some fixes to minor flaws within the game as well as the addition of some items and game levels to be incorporated into the base game. It is said that a set item dubbed as the Talisman of Akkhan has been added and that whenever it is worn by a player's hero gives quite a boost to some of its attributes. Moreover, the dungeon part of the game has been upgraded with 16 more stages making it even more challenging.

Apart from these, the new game tweak will let players relive the original title as it will also bring forth the first ever "Diablo" game.

Meanwhile, it was publicized back then that Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce expressed his excitement for the upcoming Necromancer update and even depicted the inbound hero as a "badass" during battle.

Players who got the chance to play the game's second installment are well aware that the Necromancer uses the remains of dead beings to fight for him during battle. In addition, fans are expecting that the so-called Corpse Explosion will come alongside the Necromancer's return. Many are also expecting that new features and spells will be introduced.

It's still not yet known as to when the exact release date of the new downloadable content will be as well as its price tag. "Diablo" fanatics are advised to stay tuned for the latest news and updates for "Diablo 3."
