Blizzard dropped a cinematic trailer revealing the Warlock class coming to three different Diablo games. The demon-summoning class is hitting Diablo II: Resurrected immediately, joining Diablo IV in a future expansion, and appearing in Diablo Immortal.
The trailer shows three different Warlock characters representing each game’s visual style. It’s an unusual move to announce one class across multiple titles simultaneously rather than dedicating reveals to individual games.
Diablo II: Resurrected is getting the most concrete update right now. The game launched a paid expansion called “Reign of the Warlock” available today for $25. This marks the first new class added to Diablo II since the Assassin and Druid arrived in the 2001 Lord of Destruction expansion.
The Warlock package includes more than just the class. Buyers get a loot filter, stackable runes and gems, expanded stash space, a built-in item collection tracker called “grail,” on-demand Terror Zones, new unique items, and new runewords. Blizzard also adjusted the overpowered Mosaic runeword in this update.
That $25 price point has gotten people talking because these quality-of-life features are locked behind the purchase. Players who skip the Warlock won’t get access to stackable gems, the loot filter, or other convenience upgrades that many consider baseline improvements for a remaster.
Diablo II: Resurrected is also launching on Steam for the first time. The Steam version is called “Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition” and includes the Warlock content. Players who own the game on Battle.net cannot transfer their purchase to Steam and would need to buy it again.
One technical quirk: the old graphics toggle that let players switch between classic and remastered visuals reportedly gets removed when playing the Warlock expansion version. That’s a notable change for a remaster that built its identity on preserving the original look as an option.
Diablo IV gets the Warlock in an upcoming expansion with no firm date announced yet. The cinematic didn’t show gameplay or mechanics for any version of the class. Diablo Immortal is also receiving the Warlock though Blizzard provided few details about timing or features.
