Diablo III's 1.15 update is out now on PlayStation 4 - good news for those of you looking for an excuse to charge back into the fires of Hell. As detailed by Blizzard yesterday, the patch includes a new 16-floor dungeon based on the original Diablo, featuring its own rewards and "surprises". It also contains a bunch of small tweaks and changes to the base release, which you can read about in the developer's notes.
Thankfully, despite the new content that it brings, the update isn't a juggernaut, weighing in at a manageable 1.6GB on Sony's system.
Will you be diving back into Diablo with this patch? Show off your best loot in the comments section below.
Update: As pointed out by the ever-vigilant Tasuki, this update also adds PS4 Pro support in the form of 4K output. We bet all that blood and gore looks lovely!

It also adds support for the PS4 Pro
@Tasuki Great one more reason to buy pro, now if only I could get the money
@Tasuki Holy crap so it does, I'll update the article.
I know @Splat will be happy about the pro support.
Man i love diablo 3 , but i would need extra trophies to chase if i'm going back to play
It would be awesome if they did the same with diablo 2, even if it would be a paid expansion. (blizzard deserves my money anyway)
Hrm, still need 3 more 70's for the plat. Tempting. But I think ffxv first.
Trying to figure out if the 4K support is for the menus only or something? I havnt actually played it since I got this TV so hard to compare, and the visual style has always been quite clean anyway.
@kyleforrester87 I do know that the Anniversary Dungeon is done up to retain the original Diablo graphics so that won't be a good way to tell.
@Tasuki Haha well yeah figured as much. It does look nicer in the "normal" areas too but not sure if that's just by comparison after spending an hour in 90's land or if it's had a resolution boost.
@kyleforrester87 Hmm I am sure @Splat will weigh in his thoughts once he's played it. Unfortunately I can't since I don't own a Pro or even a 4K TV and probably won't anytime soon.
@Kyroki In adventure mode check the map in act 1 and it's a way point there at Old Tristrim. Walk around the old town square and there's a pixely portal that you can jump into by the fountain (I think it's a fountain? lol)
Glorious RetroVision in 4K! Sounds a bit dubious...
Seriously though, Act Five has the most small details.
Those areas would probably show some sign of being 4K-ed.
More free updates this game is glorious!
@Tasuki - I haven't got to play the D3 patch much yet but what I have I really like. I love the old school look and music in the classic dungeon.
@kyleforrester87 - I really didn't notice much of a difference playing it in 4K either. I mean I'm sure it look's better but it's not a night and day difference.
My only complaint with the patch is that it didn't add any trophies.
Old Tristram wasn't what I was expecting, I thought they would've at least used some of the tilesets from OG Diablo, but they're all from D3. It was a fun run, a few nice Easter eggs too.
