The two-year anniversary of Diablo 4 has arrived, bringing a packed schedule of events, free rewards, and a confirmed new season start date. From now until June 17, players can claim exclusive items, enjoy generous XP and gold buffs, and prepare for what’s next—possibly including a long-awaited new class announcement.
Double Buffs and Free Rewards in the Event
The event introduces two major temporary buffs: Mother’s Blessing and Tree of Whispers Blessing. These provide:
-
+35% Multiplicative XP
-
+50% Multiplicative Gold from monster kills
This is especially beneficial for anyone who hasn’t hit Paragon 300. Additionally, Grim Favor turn-ins now reward bonus caches. These contain a “cache within a cache” system, granting players a second container full of loot, including rare tributes and crafting materials.
2nd Anniversary Event June 3 – June 17

Second Anniversary Relic and Mount Unlocks
Players can access a new relic from the Requiem of Relics tab under “Second Anniversary.” It costs a minimal amount of gold (around 40,000), essentially making the rewards free. The bundle includes:
-
Burning Dawn mount armor
-
Dash the Gal – a new mount
-
Paragon 300 trophy
-
Assorted cosmetics and loot
It’s all claimable with gold, so logging in during the event window is enough to earn the full bundle. Players should also note the gold cap mechanics and spend favor tokens to avoid overflow.
Paladin Class Tease and Upcoming Xbox Showcase
Hype is growing around the rumored holy-class reveal. Some images circulating online hint at a Paladin- or Templar-style archetype, complete with hammers, glowing armor, and a light-based aesthetic. Though unconfirmed, speculation is high that the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8 could be the moment Blizzard unveils this class.
If not, many expect a reveal during Gamescom 2025 (August 20–24), aligning with Season 5’s launch on July 1.
Diablo 2 & 3 Also Join the Anniversary
In celebration of the franchise, Diablo 2 and 3 are getting activity boosts as well:
-
Diablo 3 Season 5 (relaunching June 7) includes:
-
Barbarian (Wrath of the Wastes)
-
Sorcerer (Tal Rasha Meteor)
-
Demon Hunter (Unhallowed Essence Multi-Shot)
-
These builds remain some of the fastest and most powerful options for early progression and are a solid throwback to classic Diablo gameplay. This return of Pandemonium Mode also includes the kill streak bonus system for an extra layer of chaos.
Anniversary Duration, Access, and Quick Tips
The Diablo 4 anniversary event runs until June 17 at 10:00 a.m. PDT. To join in, simply log in during the event window and access the rewards via the Requiem system and Tree of Whispers. Players should prioritize spending favor tokens to avoid hitting the 99-cap limit. Even if your character is already maxed out, the bonus caches provide materials, gold, and cosmetics that may be useful across alts or future seasons.
The burning dawn mount armor and Dash the Gal mount require only a small amount of gold, making them easily obtainable. This is one of the more generous events the game has had, offering players both utility and visuals without requiring high-level grinds or full party coordination.
This anniversary celebration combines practical progression bonuses with cosmetic rewards and serves as a soft bridge to Season 5. Whether you’re grinding Paragon, collecting loot, or just logging in for the freebies, the event rewards participation. With the Paladin tease and back-to-back seasonal rollouts across all three games, Diablo’s summer is looking busy.
