Greater Rifts are coming to Diablo 4, as the Abattoir of Zir is set to debut in Patch 1.2.3 – a new endgame activity that aims to replicate what made Greater Rifts so fun in Reaper of Souls. The parallels between Diablo 4 and its predecessor are obvious, as Diablo 3 enjoyed comparable success in 2012, yet eventually earned the reputation of a flawed game with a tedious and unrewarding endgame grind. It took the efforts of Reaper of Souls to turn Diablo 3 around, and many players can't help but wonder if Diablo 4's Vessel of Hatred will do the same for the sequel.
