Without a doubt,Diablo 2: Resurrectedis one of the most anticipated games of this fall, with many ready to jump back into the classic this September. Further on the horizon isDiablo 4,which doesn’t have a concrete release date. Still, it stands to reason that Diablo fans will be eating good for the next few years.
Of course, it’s natural to worry about the state of a game that is years away, as hype today could translate to disappointment tomorrow. Blizzard has been really talkative about the state ofDiablo 4though, and recent change toDiablo 2prove that it isn’t just for show.

Diablo 2recently had an Alpha testand is set for a beta in August.

This is big news for fans of the franchise, as not only doe it mean Blizzard is listening to fan feedback but it is implementing it where necessary.

With the following changes being made toDiablo 2: Resurrected, that’s not the case here:
Diablo 4: Blizzard is Talking Now, But It Will Listen
WithDiablo2 set to release in September, it stands to reason that Blizzard could implement further changes based on fan feedback to the forthcoming betas. This is good news for fans of the franchise, as it means airing their concerns may result in real change. Of course, not everything would be changed based on that, but if a game that is technically 20+ years old is open to changes, then so too would its upcoming sequel.
Diablo 4is receiving quarterly updates from Blizzard, so while it may not be the talk of the town right now, it is the talk of theDiablocommunity. Blizzard communicating aboutDiablo 4’s character creation, art direction, and the like is already a good thing; fans aren’t left for several months, if not years, with silence. Knowing that Blizzard is listening to and implementing fan feedback onDiablo 2means that it’s likely to the same withDiablo 4. Strong communication, as well as respectful back and forth, between the community and the developer is a big starting point for a great game, especially one that will hopefully last as long asDiablo 2.
Diablo 2: Resurrectedwill be available Jul 23, 2025 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
