Popular Diablo 2 Mod Getting Big Update


Summary

  • Project Diablo 2 mod teases season 11 update.
  • The mod will add endgame content, group dungeons, a new runeword Epiphany for shields, and a Whispering Mirage unique war fist for assassins.
  • Diablo 2: Resurrected player count surpasses Diablo 3 as fans eagerly anticipate the mod’s next update and launch date reveal.

The popular mod Project Diablo 2 is on the brink of receiving a major season 11 update, introducing new items, runewords, and exciting changes to keep Blizzard’s sequel alive and kicking. Project Diablo 2’s goal is to maintain the Lord of Destruction experience, designed to deploy frequent ladder resets, and continue development on the sequel while Blizzard focuses its efforts on Diablo 4. It’s been a point of contention in the Diablo community that the developer has left Diablo 2 development in the rearview mirror, but the mod’s next update looks to revive the game once more.

Diablo 2 was first released in 2000 set after the events of the first Diablo game, and the successor received the Lord of Destruction expansion in 2001. Diablo 2 was then followed by the third main entry in 2012 and the recent fourth installment in 2023. The current entry Diablo 4 recently received a new update, which, despite being a smaller patch, deployed bug fixes and new features such as resolution scaling, alongside support for Intel XeLL and XeSS Frame Generation.

Project Diablo 2 has a long history, and aiming to top season 10’s ladder reset, the mod’s season 11 update has plenty in store for players.

A recent dev stream revealed more details, giving the community a closer look at the new Unique map called The Imperial Palace and the new Unique ring Constricting Loop Ring with plenty of perks. Diablo 2: Resurrected’s player count recently surpassed that of Diablo 3 in a new milestone, proving the sequel is retaining its popularity in 2025, and the fandom is counting down the seconds until the launch date is revealed.

With fans taking matters into their own hands when it comes to Diablo 2, Blizzard is focusing all its attention on the fourth entry’s future. Unfortunately, Diablo 4’s content roadmap received backlash from the player base, blaming the developer for using copy-and-paste tactics in future updates. Blizzard’s director responded by assuring Diablo 4 players that a few surprises were in store, but several fans fear the developer has lost their way. Luckily, the community can revisit Diablo 2’s mod while Blizzard works through the storm.
