The new Diablo 4 update has added new Unique weapons and Legendary Aspects. Diablo 4 is getting closer to Season 1, but first, the game is making several adjustments and bringing new content to players.

Diablo 4 announced Season 1 earlier this month and gave it the gloomy name "Season of the Malignant." The reason is the new theme and core mechanic Blizzard will be adding to Diablo 4: malignance. Diablo 4 players will team up with Cormond, a former priest of the Cathedral of Light, to discover the source and stop the spread of the Malignant throughout Sanctuary. Because of the theme, Diablo 4 Season 1 will add Malignant Hearts and other "malignant content" like enemies, powers, and tunnels that function as the game's new dungeons.

Diablo 4 has released Patch 1.1.0 and added six new Unique weapons and seven new Legendary Aspects. With the new patch, each of Diablo 4's five classes is getting a new Unique, these being Azurewrath (Barbarian's Unique Sword), Fleshrender (Druid's Unique One-Hand Mace), Lidless Wall (Necromancer's Unique Shield), Eaglehorn (Rogue's Unique Bow), and The Oculus (Sorcerer's Unique Wand). Diablo 4's list of Uber Uniques has also increased with the introduction of the Ahavarion Spear of Lycander, an extremely rare Uber Unique staff players can find on World Tier 4, the highest difficulty in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4's Legendary Aspects are extremely useful unique modifiers, as they can turn Rare items into Legendary ones. To get one of these aspects, the player can use Diablo 4's Codex of Power, or slay demons to get Legendary items and extract the Aspects from them. With the release of Patch 1.1.0, Diablo 4's classes received new offensive Aspects that are Ancestral Charge (Barbarian), Subterranean (Druid), Gore Quills (Necromancer), Pestilent Points (Rogue), and Searing Wards (Sorcerer). The new general Legendary Aspects for Diablo 4 are Audacity, a utility Aspect that stuns nearby enemies, and Craven, an Aspect that increases movement speed when moving away from Slowed or Chilled enemies.

Diablo 4 will begin Season 1 on July 20, meaning the time left for players to prepare is getting shorter. After all the buzz Blizzard's game generated in the first month, players are waiting to see how Diablo 4's seasonal system will work, and how much it will engage the community in the long run.
