Diablo III Update Honors Blizzard Artist Who Died Last Year

In October 2014, Kevin Kanai Griffith, a Blizzard artist who had worked on both World of Warcraft and Diablo, passed away. This month, the company honours him with a big update for Diablo III.

Patch 2.3.0 introduces something called Kanai’s Cube, a predecessor of the game’s ā€œiconicā€ Horadric Cube. Blizzard says it’s ā€œa huge new feature that will fundamentally change the way you look at an item when it dropsā€.

ā€œNot only does it add another layer of character power at your fingertipsā€, they add, ā€œbut also introduces a structured collection element to the huge item game at the core of Diablo III.ā€

You can read more of the finer details at the update post, which also includes a tribute to Kevin’s life and work. ā€œWe miss you, Kevin. This Cube is for you.ā€

Following Kevin’s passing, his friends and family set up the charity organisation Gamers For Good. You can check them out here
