For both the die-hards and the newcomers, Diablo 2 Resurrected could be a huge deal if it turns out to be real. An early multiplayer hit, the original Diablo 2 is widely considered to be one of the best games of all time and still has a dedicated community of players 20 years after its release.

At release, it was riddled with bugs, missing promised features, and compromised by draconian policies that gave ownership of fan-made maps to Blizzard. Blizzard may be weighing its words carefully, following the response to Warcraft 3: Reforged, which was viewed as a major disappointment.
