The Diablo 3 community has been vocal about what they don't like and has D2R Items been through the entire life of Diablo 3, so we're hopeful that Blizzard is taking the feedback of those fortunate enough to experience large portions of the game pre-release. Although we'd bet Blizzard doesn't like the stream of leaked footage which appears to come after one of these private tests.

One of the elements from Diablo 3 that is confirmed to return are the limited-time Seasons. These are post-game bits of content that refresh the way legendary items work and also remix the gameplay of the game base and add replayability to a game that's already incredibly replayable. Seasons were included for a substantial amount times in Diablo 3, so we're hoping that they'll be a huge focus in Diablo 2 Resurrected.

The seasonal nature of the game also sets Diablo 2 Resurrected up to be another compelling Game Pass game, should the merger end up closing. A game like Diablo featuring solid gameplay is the perfect match for a service that allows players to pop back into Live games in a short period of. However it's a bit of a gamble, as the game is scheduled to launch in June, and the fight for an upcoming future for Activision continuing to be fought it's one of the games that's unlikely to get an Game Pass treatment on day one, unless something radically alters.

If we had to bet, we'd bet that the goal in Diablo 2 Resurrected.4 is, when Diablo 2 Resurrected finally comes out, players in the community that were outraged, and rightly so, about Diablo 2 Resurrected take a moment to think "oh it's Diablo."

There are still some cosmetic microtransactions available, and the online connection is forced, it feels like it could see some negative reactions, the contrast between the loot box-obsessed, incredibly negative mobile game hopes to be a breath of fresh air. Some of the players who became hooked by Immortal appeared to be doing so because it had just enough of the unique Diablo sauce to differentiate this series from other games thus a game that is full of it is likely to succeed.

There was a time in the game industry that everything that Blizzard made available slowed down traffic. A week would be deducted of work and the industry as a whole would freeze until it was time to take a look at the work that they and the Blizzard team had built.

Although that's not the case much nowadays, and a large portion of that elite Blizzard team has left operating for good reasons, Diablo is a franchise with significance. It has a long and storied experience as a franchise, it's only the fourth mainline installment. Diablo 2 Resurrected can be a game that causes the industry to take notice and stop by Blizzard again, this time for the Diablo 2 Resurrected Items right reasons.
