暴雪难御旗下游戏：暗黑3活动延期

Diablo 3's "Fall of Tristram" event, traditionally concluding on February 1st, has sparked player requests for an extension. However, community manager pezradar confirmed this isn't currently feasible due to the event's hard-coded nature, precluding server-side adjustments.

This announcement follows the postponement of Diablo IV Season 34, disrupting some players' weekend plans. Pezradar apologized, explaining the 24-hour notice was due to unforeseen issues with the automatic season scheduler that prematurely ended Season 33 in early January. The delay allows for the development and testing of new code to ensure smooth seasonal transitions and account data preservation. Improved player communication regarding future scheduling changes is also promised.

Separately, Wolcen Studio revealed Project Pantheon, a free-to-play action RPG incorporating extraction shooter mechanics. A closed alpha test begins January 25th in Europe, expanding to North America on February 1st. Game director Andrei Cirkulete described the game as blending "the tension and risk-reward of an extraction shooter with the battle dynamics of combat role-playing games," hinting at influences from titles like Diablo and Escape from Tarkov. The game casts players as a Death messenger tasked with restoring order to a ravaged world.
