Overview
- Reign of the Warlock launched last week for Diablo II: Resurrected, adding the Warlock as the first new class in almost 25 years.
- The DLC introduces a customizable loot filter, expanded stash tabs, the Chronicle item tracker, updated Terror Zones with player control, a new Ancients endgame encounter, and cross‑game cosmetic rewards.
- Players are divided over balance, with popular Reddit threads and a high‑profile build video highlighting extremely powerful Warlock setups and competing calls for nerfs or restraint.
- Path of Exile creator Chris Wilson praised the class and QoL work but labeled the absence of a new Act a strategic mistake that could curb wider re‑engagement, noting the Warlock’s unusually broad, modern toolkit.
- Blizzard is aligning the class across its portfolio, with Diablo 4’s Warlock slated for April’s Lord of Hatred expansion and a Diablo Immortal version later in 2026, as the $25 price (or $40 with base game) fuels value debates.
