Released last year Warcraft 3: Reforged received a controversial reception. Fans were upset that the remaster’s improvements were more conservative than what they had originally shown, but the real gist of the claims was that Blizzard merged Reforged’s multiplayer mode with the original game while carving out features like clans, LAN and leaderboards that had been around in Warcraft 3 for almost 20 years.
In the case of the recently announced remake Diablo II: Resurrected the company will not repeat the same mistake. In conversation with PC Gamer, the curator of the franchise Rod Fergusson confirmed that although the updated version is based on the source code of the original Diablo II, it will exist as a completely independent product…
“A different team worked on Warcraft 3: Reforged, and that was long before me. In Diablo 2’s case, it was important for us that the original remained original and not gone anywhere. For example, if you had a terrible mod for breaking code that reduced the safety of the game is no longer, but at the same time it was your favorite way of passing, you can continue to use it [в классической версии]because Diablo 2: Resurrected will not support such mods. An important part of it all was keeping the two games separate from each other. “
At the same time, Blizzard hastened assurethat the updated Diablo II will still support the installation of amateur mods… The ban, apparently, will affect only those mods that do not fall under the current company policy.
Diablo II: Resurrected will be released before the end of 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X / S, Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC. More about the game here…
