yes, you read that right. Diablo 2

?? What Reign of the Warlock Is

A major expansion/update for Diablo II: Resurrected that adds lots of new content, including the first new class the game has seen in decades: the Warlock.

????? Warlock Class

The Warlock is a master of forbidden arts, combining demon control, eldritch enhancements, and chaotic magic.

Three distinct skill trees:

Eldritch — enhances weapons, manipulates enemy minds, weapon telekinesis, curses.

Demon — summon demons like Goatmen, Tainted, Defilers; bind or consume demons for effects.

Chaos — fire and entropy-based chaos spells with area effects.

??? New Items & Features

Adds 30+ new items (Uniques, Sets, Runewords, and new “Book” items for Warlocks).

White daggers now can roll Warlock skills, opening new build possibilities.

?? Quality of Life Improvements

Stackable stash tabs for gems, materials, and runes (up to 99 each).

Loot filters so you can focus on valuable items.

The Chronicle: an in-game tracker that tracks all items you’ve found (like a “holy grail” completion tool).

?? Endgame Enhancements

Reworked Terror Zones: more frequent changes, affixes on monsters, and better control.

Heralds spawn in Terror Zones with special drops like Latent Sunder Charms.

A new Uber Ancients fight (requires collecting statues and combining them).

?? Other Notes

The expansion continues to evolve the game with future balance and item improvements hinted at.

In short, Reign of the Warlock is a big update that adds a new class, a bunch of quality-of-life tools, new items, and expanded endgame challenges to Diablo II: Resurrected — modernizing the experience while maintaining classic LOD mechanics.

Pretty cool. I had already saw leaks about the warlock being added to Diablo 4 but I never would have guessed that they were adding him to Diablo 2 as well.

Being able to control or consume enemy mobs for abilities/buffs sounds like a cool mechanic if it’s executed well.

Yeah, they did say the Warlock in D4 is much stronger.
quote:

While the Warlock in Diablo 2: Resurrected is a very capable summoner of Hell’s forces, its appearance in Diablo 4 will see the class “at the height of strength,” Blizzard says. The Warlock will command demons and hellfire’s destructive power, turning the wrath of Hell against itself, when Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred launches on April 28.

Blizzard promises to reveal more details about the Warlock in Diablo 4 during a Developer Update on March 5 at 2 p.m. PST / 5 p.m. EST.

Gotta admit, this was not on my bingo card. That is quite a shadow drop.

Got into act 3 last night with a warlock. The quality of life stuff is awesome. I'm doing a fire warlock and while squishy, does a decent amount of damage. Worth the 25 bucks. They have also alluded if this sells well they're going to keep adding more and tweaking things.

Made the purchase last night but didn't get the update on PS5. Is there anything I need to do?

You might have to update or select expansion in the character selection page.

The other thing that kinda sucks is the ladder starts in 8 days so everything we're doing now goes away but it's good to remember how to play too

I tried playing this on my OG Xbox 1 and took 30 seconds to load into each act. I might need to pull the trigger on a new system to play this.

I used to d2jsp for weeks before the remake. Is that still alive and well?
