Diablo 1 and 2 remake9/15/2023 Hellfire will be accessible while launching the original Diablo.Īn ancient evil sweeps across the land, plunging it into civil war and terrorizing the populace. The expansion also adds a Monk class, new weapons and items, new missions, locations, dungeons, and enemies. Hellfire offers a non-canonical single-player storyline where players must defeat a powerful demon named Na-Krul who is threatening Tristram. Despite that, in response to Diablo players who have expressed a desire to experience the content, Blizzard has given the OK for it to be included as a free add-on with Diablo purchases on GOG.COM. Of course, knowing Blizzard, it's entirely likely that there'll be nothing about Diablo at Blizzcon at all.Originally developed by Synergistic Software and released in 1997, Hellfire was not an official Blizzard product and did not carry Blizzard’s endorsement or label. This would reinvigorate the Diablo 3 playerbase, save time and money on development compared to making the entire thing from scratch, and maybe give Blizzard a good proof-of-concept to go ahead and remake Diablo 1 as well, probably also as an expandalone. That said, I think if they were to consider making a Diablo 2 remake, it would be far more prudent to make it a full-priced Diablo 3 expandalone, maybe with a "new" old class reintroduced as well (probably Druid). A Diablo 1 remake could actually update how the game plays, what environments are used, and fix the story which has become a gargantuan mess at this point. Diablo 3 is already kind of a remake of Diablo 2 anyways (first and second Acts are almost identical in theme and setting, Act 3 of D3 is like portions of Act 5 of D2, D3's Act 4 is a mirror opposite of D2's Act 4). I really don't see the point in remaking Diablo 2 when 1.) Diablo 3 is already out and 2.) Diablo 1 is far more ripe for a remake.
