We all know that Blizzard is in something of a desperate need to both release a new game and get their fans back on board. That being said, however, while I am very disheartened by this news, I can’t necessarily pretend to be surprised either. I mean, despite this not being a new release, it was still a solid bit of fan service from Blizzard. As such, when the remaster was announced in 2017, I was more than a little excited. It was, without a doubt, one of my favourite games that I spent many an evening playing with my friends. I was honestly really looking forward to the Diablo 2 remaster. But they later realized that it would be much better to give the franchise a complete reset and put majority of the fans requests into 1 giant package.”Īdmittedly, this is just rumour, but it does make some (rather disappointing) sense. best way to think of this is the latest God of War that was released in April for the PlayStation 4 in 2018. Basically, it’s a combination of both for the modern era. Those who wanted a Diablo II Remake and a brand new Diablo game will be pleased. “Blizzard will be treating Diablo IV as a reboot of the franchise.
As such, with this announcement, they no longer see the need or requirement to remake the 2nd game.
In the report, an internal source at Blizzard has claimed that the company is, effectively, treating Diablo 4 is a whole new reboot for the franchise. In a report via DSOGaming, while the announcement of a new game from the franchise is being widely praised, it seems that it isn’t coming without a price to be paid and sadly, it seems that the Diablo 2 Remaster might be the sacrificial lamb. Better late than never, right? Well, perhaps not. Following confirmation at Blizzcon 2019 earlier this month, Blizzard finally came to their senses and announced that Diablo 4 was on the way.
