Blizzard surprised us the other day when it added a new Warlock class to Diablo 2 and brought the 2021 remaster of the classic ARPG to Steam. For some of Diablo 2's original developers, the revitalization of their decades-old game is a happy testament to its lasting appeal, but it also means that, to some degree, they're competing with their own work as they develop a brand new ARPG called Darkhaven.

"Just the fact that people are playing this 30-year-old game, that it's worth it for them to introduce new content, is amazing to me," said original Diablo 2 lead character artist Phil Shenk on a call with PC Gamer last week. "It's super cool. I'm very proud, I guess is the word, just at the fact that it has so much legs."
