It may have been almost two years ago that Diablo III: Reaper of Souls was released on Xbox 360 and Xbox One but Blizzard are still showing the popular RPG an impressive amount of support, releasing a hefty new patch.

Update 2.41 is now available to download, making changes to various skills in each class, items, crafting and monsters. The extensive patch notes can be found here but is summed up rather nicely in the below video:

In addition to the patch, Blizzard have announce the rewards that players can expect as the game enters Season 6. Rewards are unlocked when players reach certain milestones within the game and consist of brand new cosmetic items, including an exclusive portrait frame, a unique pennant and new pieces of the Conqueror's transmogrification set.

Haedrig's Gift is also up for grabs for another season, granting players three items of class-specific high-end gear if they reach level 70 in Chapter Three, defeat Izual at level 70 on Torment II or higher and complete a Greater Rift Level 20 solo. The gifts are tailored to your class type and make up the following sets:

  • Barbarian - Legacy of Raekor
  • Crusader - Armor of Akkha
  • Demon Hunter - Embodiment of the Marauder
  • Monk - Inna's Reach
  • Witch Doctor - Zunimassa's Haunt
  • Wizard - Delsere's Magnum Opus
