The game is essentially a live service. The team is therefore planning plans to offer a range of free updates, said executive producer Peiwen Yao.
"The changes will comprise dungeonsand storyline quests bosses, gameplay features and new classes," she added, adding that she could not say the specifics of these plans at this point.
Cheng said he remains confident in his plan to bring the Diablo series to mobile. The plan seems sensible, particularly considering there are an abundance of Diablo clones available on smartphones. The mainstream and historical comfort the Diablo brand name offers to the genre is a significant element in its favor.
"Just being on a small screen or device doesn't suggest it's not a big undertaking," Cheng said, declaring that this is the most ambitious studio Diablo project yet.Unfortunately for Diablo 2 Resurrected, the mobile spin-off D2R spoiled that momentum. From the moment of announcement, development and launch, into the world of play, D2R was criticised by players for its insanity with microtransactions causing the community to revolt. The same community that pushed Blizzard off their auction house that was based on real money the same crowd that demanded the revamped loot system, Loot2.0 that made Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls the most popular action-based loot title of the decade.
They felt, and in a variety of ways, still feel abandoned by Blizzard. Diablo 2 Resurrected is a good start to make things right. Blizzard is a company that is in changing. Still in the middle of the impending Microsoft merging, Diablo 2 Resurrected could prove to be the last game created by "Old Blizzard," and there's pressure to provide the fans with the game they want, especially since in the years that followed Diablo 3, other games within the same genre, such as Path of Exile, have the potential to take on Blizzard's crown of loot.
There's a fundamental loop in Diablo that's the key to the entire game's success or failing. Are you content to dive into the dungeon with no thought, take out mobs and collect loot? If so, then Diablo 2 Resurrected is halfway to being loved by its gamers. If the team has once time again altered the loot system like they did in the original release of Diablo 3, then we're in trouble.
The book Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, the chapter on the calamity that was Diablo 3's launch tells the story of the way a Blizzard producer played through the game literally hundreds of hours before they found one piece legendary loot. When the light that was orange finally came out of an adversary, he tried to grab the loot , only to realize that his character couldn't even utilize it. The loot system was fundamentally flawed that the thrill to grind for hours and then the satisfaction of finding something that was truly special was broken.
