Diablo 3's 2.2.0 Update Brings New Legendaries, Goblins, and Bounties

The next update will focus on new content, rather than adjusting classes.

Blizzard has revealed the contents of the next big Diablo III patch, and the focus is on new content.

The 2.2.0 update is still being worked on and will be arriving "soon" on Public Test Regions for players to try out.  Three new six-piece sets: Unhallowed Essence, Wrath of the Wastes, and Delsere's Magnum Opus are being introduced, and seven existing sets are being updated with new bonuses.

15 new Legendary powers are being added to a combination of existing items and new Legendary items. Blizzard's preview includes a look at two such powers, including one that causes an Avalanche when using the Barbarian's Ground Stomp skill. The other increases the damage done by the Demon Hunter's Rain of Vengeance.

Adventure mode will get more than 20 new bounties spread across Acts II, IV, and V.

New types of Treasure Goblins will also be introduced.

Lastly Blizzard will add a cosmetic window for cosmetic-only items, in order to remove them from your inventory.

Some other small, unspecified changes will also be coming as part of 2.2.0. A release date for the final version on PC, Mac, Xbox One, or PS4 has not yet been announced.
