Developer Blizzard Entertainment is back with a preview of Diablo 3 – Season 39: Shades of the Nephalem, kicking off on June 25. The Season will feature Shadows of the Past mechanic that first debuted with Season 22.
“The shadows, they are moving, and they seem… animated. Like they have a will of their own. Whatever this trickery is, perhaps you can use it to your advantage. Let’s see what the demons say when you fight side by side with your own shadow!”
While the Season is ongoing, activating a Shrine/Pylon will spawn in a shadow clone of your class, who will come with a randomly chosen 1 of 3 predetermined builds. This clone’s power will scale with your character and will last for 1 minute (unless your character dies).
At the same time, Kanai’s Cube will have a fourth slot this season. It will have the choices of the first 3 slots but will not stack with any of them, providing additional flexibility to your build.
