Diablo 2: Resurrected receives its first major content update in over 25 years — introducing the Warlock class, new Terror Zones, bosses, stash improvements, loot filters, and more as part of the Reign of the Warlock expansion.
🆕 Historic Update — New Class & Major Content Drop
Long-time fans of Diablo II: Resurrected are celebrating one of the biggest updates the game has seen in decades. The “Reign of the Warlock” expansion has officially launched, giving players the first new playable class in over 25 years — the Warlock, alongside fresh end-game content and quality-of-life improvements.
This marks a rare and exciting expansion for the beloved ARPG classic, which originally debuted in 2000 and had not seen substantial new playable class additions since its Lord of Destruction expansion.
🧙♂️ Warlock — The New Playable Class
The Warlock is a dark, mystical spellcaster who manipulates forbidden forces and demons to dominate the battlefield. This class blends demon summoning, magical hexes, and chaos-style ranged attacks to give players a flexible, powerful playstyle not seen in Diablo 2 before.
Key features of the Warlock class include:
- Summon and control demons, including Goatmen, Tainted, and Defiler minions.
- Bind demons for buffs or consume them to gain temporary power boosts.
- Unique hybrid skill paths combining melee recognition with magic abilities.
This class expands the traditional Diablo 2 roster and brings a lot of fresh build variety for both solo and group play.
🆙 Other Major Updates in the Patch
Beyond the Warlock class, the Reign of the Warlock expansion includes a ton of additions and quality-of-life improvements:
- New Terror Zones with unique challenges and tougher enemies.
- Colossal Ancients bosses — powerful new end-game encounters to conquer.
- Loot filter to sort items more easily — a long-requested fan feature.
- Stackable stash tabs for better inventory management.
These changes modernize play without sacrificing the classic feel that made Diablo 2 a favorite for millions.
