Thus, the future of Diablo has been in a precarious position for years now. Then there were the ongoing woes at Activision Blizzard, including losing many top developers, corporate mismanagement, and other severe problems. It was cheaply made with dreadful monetization. Still, it gave many of us hope for another pure Diablo game in the spirit of the first two games.ĭirectly opposed to fan desires, the free-to-play mobile game, Diablo Immortal, came out in 2022. After years of updates, the game got much better, but the damage was already done to the Diablo world.Īs a peace offering to the Diablo fans of old, the year 2021 saw the release of Diablo II: Resurrected, a quality remaster that was perhaps too faithful to the outdated and tedious gameplay of the original. The developers’ disrespect toward the source material was shocking, and the real money auction house was an abomination. Much older now and living apart, my LAN friends and I enjoyed a few summer months of virtually meeting up online to play, trying to rekindle our teenage youth.
Then a dozen years flew by, and Diablo III was released in May of 2012. We spent the summer having LAN parties at my house, trying to overcome evil, one mouse click at a time. My dear dad (rest his soul) generously bought several copies of the game for my friends and me. Then Diablo II unleashed upon the PC gaming world.
