Blizzard Entertainment has released a patch for the action role-playing video game "Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls" for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The patch was rolled out this month, although it is only available in the Americas at the moment (in Europe, it's already available for PC).

"Diablo III patch 2.1.2 is now live in the Americas for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One! Check out the full PC patch notes below to learn all about the latest changes," game developer Blizzard announced in the game's official site.

The game developer is also reminding those in Asia that they will have to wait for the patch to be available in their region before they can install it, saying, "Please note that you will not be prompted to download patch 2.1.2 until the patch is live in your home region."

Additionally, those in the U.S. won't be able to log into those areas via Global Play until those regions have also received the patch.

The new patch brings a lot of bug fixes to the game, such as the issues with the Invigorating Gemstone and Bane of the Trapped. It also offers tons of improvements, like an increased base life upon reaching level 70, increase in Life on Hit and Life Regeneration to 25 percent, and reduced rarity of Legendary Items. Additionally, Ancient Items (more powerful version of Legendary Items) are now present in the game, and there's a new Legendary Potion called Bottomless Potion of Fear, among many others. 

Blizzard has also incorporated more social interaction features so gamers can better connect with other players for more immersive gameplay. There's a more detailed Friends List and Clan and Community Rosters, for example. In addition, the patch also brings more rewards.  

Players who want to view more information regarding the patch details can visit the Battle.net blog.
