The allure of Diablo II is still going strong, if the sales numbers for Blizzard’s Diablo II: Resurrected are any indication. In a new press release announcing the arrival of Patch 2.4 for the remaster (read Neil’s take on the game here), Blizzard has revealed that Resurrected has sold over 5 million units, which has exceeded the original version’s 4 million in sales.
As for the 2.4 patch, it’s the first patch in over 11 years to address balancing issues with Diablo II. “Among the changes are various updates for each class, new Rune Words, fresh Horadric Cube Recipes, Mercenary reworks, and much more!”
Specifically noteworthy for balancing are fixes for a series of bugs that have been around since the original game. For example, Blizzard has fixed an issue that caused certain monsters with the ability to drain mana to take more mana than intended from the player, leaving them at a disadvantage when attempting to use spells.
And for those who are still at it with the seasonal Ladders, Diablo II: Resurrected‘s new season will be kicking off on April 28th.
Diablo II: Resurrected is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
