Diablo 4 Reveals Slay Ride to Hell Community Event

Event Overview

The upcoming Slay Ride to Hell event in Diablo 4 starts on December 17, 2024, aimed at goblin slaying as a community challenge with increasing rewards.
Participants can earn various rewards including Legendary, Unique, and Ancestral items by defeating goblins, featuring exclusive content from the Vessel of Hatred DLC.
Players can engage in this event solo or cooperatively, unlocking impressive weapons and items based on the number of goblins they slay.

Diablo 4 is set to welcome players to its festive global community challenge event, titled Slay Ride to Hell, beginning mid-December 2024. This event offers a unique opportunity for players to gain outstanding rewards as they work together to eliminate goblins before the event concludes.

Since its launch in June 2023, this action-RPG dungeon crawler has captured players’ interest, particularly following the release of the Vessel of Hatred DLC in early October 2024. This expansion has enriched the game with fresh content tailored for both solo adventurers and multiplayer enthusiasts, while the thriving community events, such as World Boss raids, continue to enhance the multiplayer experience.

The Slay Ride to Hell event is crafted to unite Diablo 4 players in a competitive yet cooperative spirit. Scheduled to commence on December 17, 2024, at 10 a.m. PST, and running until January 2, 2025, this event will significantly boost the spawn rates of Treasure Goblins throughout Sanctuary and Nahanthu. As players globally eliminate these goblins, they will unlock better rewards, starting at the milestone of 5 million goblins slain collectively. Further rewards will unfold as additional thresholds are reached at 10 million, 15 million, 25 million, and 40 million kills.
