Competitive demon slaying is about to take over Diablo 4 as its next update finally adds official leaderboards

A screencap of the Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred cinematic. A hooded knight faces the screen in a closeup still. He holds his glowing amber blade of light up to the left side of his face. On the right of the blade, his helmet is lit by the blade and through the slit you can see a stoic eye peering forward.

It's not enough to slay thousands of monsters simply for the fun of it. What if all that bloodshed was to show off how much better you are at it than the rest of them? After years of asking for it, Diablo 4 players are finally getting leaderboards—and a new mode to go with them—in its next update.

Blizzard calls it The Tower and it's coming in a patch on January 12 as a beta mode that promises to improve over time. It's basically a multi-level dungeon where you slay monsters for a high score, leveraging both speed and power to clear your way to a final boss. Diablo 3 players will recognize this format as an updated version of Greater Rifts, a super endgame mode for players who are pretty much done perfecting their builds.
