Diablo II: Resurrected

Season 14 · Patch 3.2

Expansion Launch February 11, 2026

After years of community requests, modding experiments, and two official expansions on the original Diablo II, Reign of the Warlock has arrived as the definitive expansion for Diablo II: Resurrected. It's February 11, 2026, the servers are live, and Sanctuary has changed forever.

The Warlock — A New Force in Sanctuary

The Warlock is the first new playable class to join Diablo II in over two decades. Built from the ground up by a team that deeply respected the original game's feel, the Warlock is a dark summoner who enters pacts with demonic entities to gain power. This isn't the Necromancer's calculated mastery of the dead — this is raw, dangerous bargaining with forces that barely tolerate your existence.

Three skill trees define the Warlock: Demon, Eldritch, and Chaos. Each tree provides a radically different playstyle, from a tanky pact-fueled bruiser to a long-range eldritch caster to a minion-heavy ritualist that blurs the line between Necromancer and Sorceress.

The signature skill — Echoing Strike — has already become a community favorite. A melee attack that echoes across nearby enemies with shadow damage, it remains the Warlock's strongest, S-tier endgame skill, making for some truly explosive moment-to-moment gameplay.

Loot Filters — Finally

The most requested feature in D2 history is live. Loot filters are now a native part of Diablo II: Resurrected, implemented in a way that respects the original game's philosophy while providing the flexibility players have demanded since the early 2000s.

The system uses a text-based filter file (similar to Path of Exile's implementation) that you can write manually or generate using an external tool. Every item name, color, sound alert, and visibility rule is configurable. You can hide Tattered Armor, highlight Set items in bright orange, and make high runes play a custom sound — all without any third-party software running alongside the game.

Colossal Ancients — The True Endgame

Beyond Baal lies something worse. The Colossal Ancients are not new enemies — they are the original Ancients, Madawc, Talic, and Korlic, twisted beyond recognition by an age of corruption. They now stand as D2R's true endgame challenge, requiring fully optimized builds and a deep understanding of the game's mechanics to overcome.

The Colossal Ancients encounter is not triggered through normal story progression. You'll need to collect five Colossal Ancient Statues, dropped by Terrorized Act Bosses, then transmute all five in the Horadric Cube to open a portal to the Colossal Summit. The encounter escalates in stages — each Ancient's abilities intensify as the others fall and as they cross HP thresholds, rewarding players who learn the fight's phases.

Advanced Stash Tabs & QoL Changes

Stash mules are dead. Reign of the Warlock introduces dedicated stash tabs for Materials, Gems, Runes, and Consumables, accessible from the main stash UI, with stacks holding up to 99.

Additional quality-of-life improvements include two additional shared stash tabs and two additional character slots.

Era Partitions — Choose Your Diablo II

One of the most surprising additions is the ability to choose among three distinct game eras, with forward-only character transfer (Classic to Resurrected to Reign of the Warlock, never back):

• ▸
  Classic The original Diablo II experience, pre-Lord of Destruction. Four acts, five classes, the purest form of the game.
• ▸
  Resurrected The full D2R experience with all Lord of Destruction content, updated visuals, and the quality-of-life improvements from the Resurrected era.
• ▸
  Reign of the Warlock The complete current-day experience. All content, Warlock class, loot filters, advanced stash, and Colossal Ancients.

Steam Release — Infernal Edition

Simultaneous with the expansion launch, D2R has finally arrived on Steam. The Infernal Edition (App ID 2536520) bundles the base game, Lord of Destruction, and Reign of the Warlock at a single price point.

Cross-progression with Battle.net is fully supported — your existing characters, stash, and settings migrate seamlessly. The Steam release ships with 43 achievements at launch and a Steam Deck Verified rating.
