But Diablo 2: Resurrected treads a fine line between staying faithful to the original and re-selling a game from 2000. Blizzard can invest a small portion of its dev power to churning out remasters of its classic games to make a quick profit and satiate fans as they await its bigger projects, like Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2. Remasters and remakes have become a core part of many developer release strategies because of their relative simplicity to make compared to brand-new IPs.

Despite all that, Blizzard has clearly learned from its mistakes by making sure Diablo 2: Resurrected wouldn't replace the original (like Warcraft 3: Reforged did for Warcraft 3). It will lack crossplay at launch, and its cross-progression feature requires players to purchase the game twice. The Diablo 2 remaster only slightly changes the original's two-decade-old user interface. Diablo 2: Resurrected launch appears to have learned from the controversial release of Warcraft 3: Reforged, but it's still another remake charging gamers for less content. The title was described as a " faithful" remaster of the 2000 dungeon crawler Diablo 2, which Blizzard Entertainment will bring to life by enhancing the graphics of the original title. While that might freshen the 21-year-old game, the release sorely lacks many features players expect out of modern hack-and-slashers. Diablo 2: Resurrected was one of the few Blizzcon 2021 announcements that will actually release this year.
