Blizzard revealed the inclusion of the Warlock as a selectable character in Diablo II: Resurrected. This introduction represents the inaugural new character option in 25 years for the updated edition of the iconic action role-playing game. The content arrives through the Reign of the Warlock add-on, launched today at a price of $25. Beyond the class, it delivers improvements to the main game, such as fresh gear and an intense final challenge facing the Colossal Ancients. Individuals lacking the core title can acquire the $40 Infernal Edition of D2R, incorporating this expansion.
Diablo II: Resurrected debuted in 2021 as a meticulously crafted revival of the enduring classic cherished by Blizzard enthusiasts across decades. The arrival of a completely novel class delivers substantial value to dedicated players maintaining their involvement with the remaster in its current iteration.
Those uninterested in Diablo II: Resurrected can look forward to the Warlock joining Diablo 4 via its impending Lord of Hatred add-on this April, along with an appearance in Diablo Immortal. Excluding Diablo 3's relative neglect, virtually all series followers will soon explore the Warlock's demon-conjuring mechanics. A Blizzard video celebrating the Diablo series' 30th anniversary outlines the forthcoming plans for the lineup this year.
To commemorate its 35th anniversary, Blizzard has steadily issued announcements and enhancements in the last several weeks. A prominent change involved the competitive hero-based shooter Overwatch, which dropped the '2' from its title while incorporating five new playable characters in its extensive patch from yesterday.
