With that said, yesterday diligent Diablo III gamers noted a new event at the Immortal Throne. Previously, this included a new character in World of Warcraft carrying his namesake as well as the inclusion of a substantial feature addition to Diablo III - the Kanai Cube. We hope you enjoy the opportunity as much as we do.It has been over a year since the passing of Blizzard senior artist Kevin Kanai Griffith, yet Blizzard continues to memorialize and tribute him throughout their games. "This event is a chance for folks to get to adventure with Kanai one more time.

“If you’d like to read more about Kevin, we included a short biography of his contributions to Diablo (and Blizzard as a whole) in the Kanai’s Cube preview. “For those of you who may not know, Kevin was a talented and dedicated member of the Diablo III development team who passed away in October of 2014 from a rare form of cancer,” community manager Nevalistis wrote on the game’s blog. Players who enter are backed up by the NPC Chief Elder Kanai, modelled on Griffith’s own Barbarian character.Īlthough the event was added back in Diablo III’s 2.4.0 patch, the portal is only accessible during March – the month of Griffith’s birth.įor those interested in visiting the tribute, the entrance is found near the Immortal Throne in the Ruins of Sescheron during Act 3 of the game’s narrative. Kanai’s Stomping Grounds are populated with murderous bovine – a reference to the iconic Diablo II secret cow level, which was itself inspired by false rumours of a similar easter egg in the original game.
