Gallerani said that for the most part, this new iteration of Diablo II will very much be accessible for modding, although some tweaks have been made. Speaking to us here at in a recent interview, Rob Gallerani, a designer on Diablo II: Resurrected from Vicarious Visions, explained how mods would work in the game.

With the advent of Diablo II: Resurrected now coming about later this year, Blizzard has confirmed that the remaster will very much be ripe for modding once again.

Like many other Blizzard Entertainment games, mods have been a backbone for Diablo II, especially when it comes to replayability. Hopefully, it will be up very soon.One of the biggest reasons why the original Diablo II has continued to remain relevant over the past two decades is because of the game's constant support via fan-made mods. If you are interested, visit the creator’s website to see the latest updates and when it will become available.

It is also worth noting that the use of mods is only applicable to single-player mode only, so there is no harm done to anyone else. In fact, it is even actively encouraged by Blizzard, so long as it stays within the company’s established boundaries. But, according to BrotherLaz, using their work is safe. While this is good and all, you may be hesitant to install any sort of program or third-party files that may alter the game in any way. These are changes not available in the original. Impale, for example, has a longer stun duration, knocks the enemy back, and steals mana from the target. In addition, all existing skills have been enhanced immensely. That is why the creator removed all the Javelin skills in favor of the Bow and Spear only. You see, the said class can use three different weapons, and because of this, the skill trees are a mess. Those who like to play the Amazon class but want it improved may be enticed to install Brotherhood once it becomes available. The mod is still very much a work in progress and it may be available sometime before the year ends. This mod is created by BrotherLaz and if you’ve been active in the Diablo II community, you will know that they are also the creator of Median XL, a very popular overhaul mod that provides new content and character customization, among many others.Īt the moment, only three of the seven playable classes have been altered, including the Druid, the Necromancer, and the Amazon. It replaces class skills, items, monster behavior, and so much more. The Brotherhood is an overhaul mod that essentially changes some game aspects to make it even more enjoyable. Modding is very much alive even in the remastered version of Diablo II. Having said that, you can still enjoy the game in single-player mode, especially if you install some modifications. It is still plagued by several server issues, including long queue times and random crashes. To this day, Diablo II: Resurrected remains unstable.
