Here you’ll return to the original Cathedral and its 16 levels, as well as face off with the original four bosses - even though the Butcher sort-of returned in Diablo III. Meanwhile, the Diablo I remake will be turning up on the game’s public test realm next week as part of an update called Darkening of Tristram.
They really don’t make them like they used to, although it looks like they’re trying.Īlong with the Necromancer class, the pack will also come with various other doodads and customisable thingies: an in-game pet, two additional character slots, two more stash tabs, and more portrait frames, pennants, banners and sigils. Fun fact: when Diablo II launched many many many years ago, the Necromancer’s exploding corpse ability (sometimes writing about games makes you realise how bizarre they can be) was so hilariously overpowered it was absolutely brilliant, though quickly fixed. The Necromancer will be sold separately as part of a Rise of the Necromancer pack.
It’s important to note these announcements don’t form a new expansion. But what’s that hiding in the other arm? Blizzard is also remaking the very first Diablo in the Diablo III engine, and that’s coming out in the next couple of months.īut why now? November is the time of year where Blizzard takes to Anaheim for BlizzCon, and 2016 is the year of multiple Blizzversaries: including for Diablo, which is now 20 years old. Keen beans will be able to access the event from the test realm starting next week.įresh information has dropped out from the sleeve of Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime’s wonderful bowling shirts: the Necromancer class will be coming to Diablo 3 next year.
The event will be home to some exclusive loot, including the soulstone from the original Diablo along with the Butcher's clever and Wirt's leg. Update: Yikes! Blizzard has confirmed The Darkening of Tristram will be an event taking place in Diablo III in January, and will return annually (side note: holiday events seem to be all the rage right now) as an anniversary-themed homage.
