Diablo 2 is nearly 21 years old. However, despite a direct sequel and plenty of competition in the action-RPG space, Diablo 2 has demonstrated some serious staying power. It's thanks by and large to the game's community of modders, who have happily pitched in to fill the void, providing new content for others while they wait for the Diablo 4 release date.
Some fans have even gone as far as to try and remake the game itself. Project Diablo 2 is built around the idea of creating a version of the old PC game that resembles something Blizzard would have made as an immediate follow-up. It launched last year, hitting a peak of 12,500 players in its first season - so if it wasn't already clear, Diablo 2 is still a big deal.
It makes perfect sense that Blizzard is bringing it back with a remaster. With Diablo 4 in the works, alongside a mobile spinoff, the series is primed to make a comeback. Even if Diablo 2: Resurrected is merely here for preservation, it gives Diablo fans and newcomers alike a fresh option when approaching the series.
