Diablo 3 has kicked off its latest season, allowing you to earn new cosmetic items for fulfilling special seasonal objectives. The theme for this round is "The Season of Grandeur," and it also includes some quality-of-life changes and a buff for seasonal players. The season is estimated to last through March 17.
New cosmetic rewards include the Helm and Shoulder armor of the Conqueror Set. Players can also earn a new portrait frame and the Wings of Lempo, modeled after a monarch butterfly. Seasonal players will automatically get the Ring of Royal Grandeur buffs, which will make it easier to get set bonuses and to combine unique combinations.
Seasonal players can also gain a new Stash tab by taking on this season's challenges, and a set of seasonal conquests rewards you with bonuses as well. All those are detailed at the official blog. You can find the class sets listed below.
The blog also details some quality-of-life changes, such as removing Legendary potions from your inventory to free up some space. The biggest change comes to Primal Legendaries, which will shine specially beams and show a unique mini-map icon so players are sure to know when they drop. Their tooltip and border colors are also a bit brighter to make them stand out. Keep in mind you can't start collecting Primal Legendaries until you finish your first Greater Rift 70 or higher while playing Solo. A number of balance tweaks are also listed on the blog, and Blizzard calls this season a "numbers pass."

PlanetSide: Arena is a new massive-scale multiplayer sci-fi shooter that brings the franchise's signature epic-scale, all-out FPS action to new massive arena game modes capable of supporting up to 1,000 players per match. PlanetSide Arena initially launches with three major game modes: Massive Clash, an epic 500-player Group vs. Group experience, along with Solo and Team Battle Royale modes. Anyone who pre-orders (or wins a key) will get access to the Closed Beta which is expected to start later this month.
Shortly after the release of Fortnite's 7.20 update earlier this week, players noticed that a mysterious icy sphere had appeared in the game above Polar Peak, leading to speculation that it would somehow tie into the impending Season 8. As it would turn out, the sphere actually housed the Ice King, who has now emerged and blanketed the entire island with an ice storm, kicking off a new event.
During an in-game sequence that unfolded on Saturday, the mysterious sphere burst open, revealing the Ice King, who conjured up a blizzard that rolled over the island. Along with the storm arrived Ice Fiends, zombie-like monsters reminiscent of those that appeared during the Fortnitemares event back in October. You can watch a replay of the entire event below.
The Ice Storm event also brings a new set of challenges to complete. Over the course of the next several days, Epic will be rolling out new objectives. Clearing each will reward you with XP, and finishing six will unlock a black and ice blue wrap. Players who manage to finish all 13 of the Ice Storm challenges will also get a special reward: the Winter's Thorn Glider.
We'll be rounding up the full list of Ice Storm challenges as they're unveiled, so be sure to check back throughout the event. If you need help completing some of Fortnite's other challenges, we also have tips on those in our full Fortnite Season 7 challenge guide.
While the mystery of the ice sphere has seemingly been solved, a few other unusual objects were recently spotted in the game. The iceberg that was once near Happy Hamlet has been destroyed, revealing a mysterious bunker underneath. Players have also discovered strange, giant eggs within prison cells beneath Polar Peak's castle. What these signify is anyone's guess, but we likely won't have to wait too long to find out.
Epic Games has kicked off a new Fortnite world event that, along with changing the island where all the action takes places, introduces a new batch of challenges to complete. If you've been keeping a close eye on what's been happening in Fortnite you'll know that a mysterious orb appeared recently above Polar Peak. That orb has now opened, and from within it the Ice King has emerged.
His arrival has also buffeted the island with an Ice Storm, which has frozen it over. An icy mist has reduced visibility and, wouldn't you know it, strange zombie-like creatures called Ice Fiends have appeared. This is the second event of this type, the previous being Fortnitemares. New changes and enemies to take on means there's ample opportunity to throw in some fresh challenges for players, and that's exactly what Epic has done.
Over the next five days, new challenges will unlock in Fortnite, each one offering 500 experience points for completion. Once six Ice Storm challenges are completed, players will received a cool black and ice blue wrap. For those that manage to complete all 13 challenges, there's a Winter's Thorn Glider as a reward. Check out the challenges available on day one below.
Fortnite Ice Storm Challenges
Complete Ice Storm Challenges (6) -- Wrap Reward
Destroy Ice Fiends (250) -- 500 XP
Deal damage with explosive weapons to the Ice Legion (5000) -- 500 XP
The mysterious orb that housed the Ice King appeared as part of Fortnite's 7.20 update, which also brought back glider redeploy as an item you can collect and use. Additionally, it dropped a new gun into the mix: the Scoped Revolver.
The Ice Storm challenges should generally be fairly easy to complete, unlike their weekly counterparts, which take some legwork. We're now in Season 7, Week 7 of Fortnite, and one challenge for the week involves finding and visiting Expedition Outposts. We've put together a guide that will speed the whole process up, so you can see all the Expedition Outpost locations here. For the other difficult challenges from previous weeks, you can use our full Fortnite Season 7 challenge guide for help with those.
