So this news is incredibly important, as it allows all the old mods to still work with the original version of the game, and even new ones to be developed! So thanks to Blizzard for learning their lesson and letting us keep the OG experience, with any crazy mods we want. As the majority od Diablo 2 mods used sprites from other games it was obvious it would be absolutely impossible to recreate them.

Franchise head Rod Ferguson talked to PC Gamer on the matter:Īnd that indeed is the most important part: the mods. Thankfully, we won't have to worry about that with Diablo 2! Despite the team at Vicarious Visions keeping as close as possible to the original, changes have to be made, and we've already seen new quality of life improvements, obviously the new graphics and similar, which all seem like big improvements but will definitely annoy some. Fans were furious, even those that didn't buy the remaster, and were left without their beloved original game.

Blizzard are learning from past mistakes, as we might have the problematic Warcraft 3: Reforged to thank for saving the original Diablo 2!Īs you might recall, the launch of WC3: Reforged saw the original Warcraft 3 LAN, ladder, clans and more removed and merged into the new version, which had changed a lot and wasn't a very good product.
