![]() ![]() The original Diablo is a much smaller game overall and much more sensible to be released as a piece of free DLC and as a fun event for the franchise's anniversary. Prior to BlizzCon, many had been speculating that Blizzard was remastering Diablo II with Diablo III's engine, which would have been quite a large production on Blizzard's part. There will also be a couple more maps released in 2017 for players to explore. Later in the day, additional plans for Diablo III were revealed, including an Armory option in town to allow for multiple gear set-ups and a crafting tab to streamline that process. As with other classes, there will be both a male and female option to pick, and the Necromancer will feature many of its classic abilities including blood golems and skeleton summoning - as well as new blood magics. The DLC will be available in 2017 but no pricing is yet available. Blizzard is planning on releasing the Necromancer as premium DLC in a "character pack" that will include stash tabs, character slots, and visual goodies like a pet and a banner. ![]() The second big reveal, and perhaps the most exciting announcement regarding Diablo III, is the unveiling of the Necromancer class. The Darkening of Tristram will launch in January and it will reappear as Blizzard celebrates Diablo's anniversary in the future. That includes a special visual filter to make Diablo III look like its predecessor. Players will be able to travel through a portal to "experience Adria's memories" and play through the content Blizzard has updated. Remaking the original Diablo within Diablo III was likely the big announcement in celebration of the franchise's anniversary. Blizzard is calling it The Darkening of Tristram, which will be a month-long anniversary event that unlocks Diablo from within the existing world of the third game. The first major reveal was that the original Diablo was being remade as free DLC and shortly after that Blizzard confirmed plans to release the Diablo II Necromancer class as premium DLC. Capping off the hour-long event, Blizzard celebrated the Diablo franchise's 20th anniversary by announcing a mixture of upcoming free and paid DLC for Diablo III designed to pay respect to the franchise's history. The original Diablo is being remade in Diablo III and the Necromancer will be released as DLC according to announcements made during BlizzCon 2016's keynote.ĭiablo IIIheld the prime, spotlight position in the BlizzCon 2016 keynote. ![]()
