It’s hard to believe Diablo 4 is coming up on its one-year anniversary, but much easier to believe that its ill-fated predecessor, Diablo Immortal, is almost two. Regardless, D4 players are being treated to some free shop cosmetics, loot goblins galore, and the return of the hearty Mother’s Blessing experience buff, detailed over in a blog post on Blizzard’s website.
March of the Goblins and free shop items
The first “part” of the event runs from June 6 to 13 and harkens the March of the Goblins, as well as a chance to choose some free new cosmetics found in the game’s shop. The influx of Treasure Goblins means more greed shrines, Treasure Goblins that appear in pairs (or large packs), and bigger loot drops when they’re killed
The blog post seems to allude to the fact that the free shop items will be selectable, one at a time, over the period of June 6 to 12, with all of them available to claim until June 20. I assume this means you’ll be able to select as many items as days have passed since the 6th until you’re able to grab them all. They appear to be a modest selection of items pulled from bundles purchasable in the shop, but forgive me if my knowledge of in-game purchases is a bit lacking.

Mother’s Blessing: Anniversary Edition
The fan-favorite buff that grants a 25% boost to experience and 50% boost to earned gold is making a return for a whopping 10 days during the celebration. No exact start date appears to be set, but it’ll probably kick off around the end of the first part of the anniversary event. Gold costs have been a major sticking point this season with the introduction of Masterworking, so a boost is going to more than welcome to those looking to min-max their loadouts.
