In Diablo 3 the Kanai Cube will be reintroduced in the next patch and offer numerous features. It is dedicated to a deceased employee.
The new cube, which will find its way to Diablo 3 in the next patch 2.3.0. is already raising expectations among fans, as it is heavily inspired by the iconic Horadric Cube from Diablo 2 (Wirt’s Leg + Tomes of Town Portal = Cow Level Portal).
In the lore of Diablo, the current Kanai Cube is the predecessor of the Horadric Cube and even more powerful than it.
New feature will shake up meta
With it, you will be able to completely reforge legendary items as if they were new. There is even a chance to get them ancient, but be careful: Ancient items that you reforge can also come out “normal”.
Moreover, you can extract properties from items that you can supposedly collect and then use three of them even if there are no slots available.
The cube will thoroughly shake up the way items are viewed in Diablo 3, that much is already clear.
Dedicated to a deceased employee
The cube is accompanied by a tragic story; it has long been known that it would be brought to the game, but that it would be called the “Kanai Cube” is due to recent circumstances.
The longtime Blizzard employee Kevin “Kanai” Griffith, a major part of the Diablo family, succumbed to a long, rare cancer in October 2014.
The Kanai Cube is dedicated to him.
