Diablo II: Resurrected cost to play

Diablo II came out on 29 June 2000, and its expansion Lord of Destruction a year to the day later. Blizzard's remaster, Diablo II: Resurrected, launched on 23 September 2021. On 11 February 2026 Blizzard added a new class, the Warlock, in a paid expansion called Reign of the Warlock, and put the game on Steam for the first time as the Infernal Edition.

How it plays

Diablo II: Resurrected is Blizzard's remaster of Diablo II and its Lord of Destruction expansion, an action role-playing game set in Sanctuary, a world caught in a war between Heaven and Hell. The Infernal Edition sold on Steam adds the Reign of the Warlock DLC, with a new Warlock class whose three paths focus on commanding demons, channelling magic through weapons or casting fire and shadow from range.

You pick one of eight classes and fight through the minions of the Burning Hells, collecting powerful items and choosing from more than 200 skills. Unique items, sets and runewords let you build each character in different ways. You can play alone or in co-op with up to eight players, across platforms.

For the endgame, Blizzard lists Terror Zones, the Colossal Ancients fight, leaderboards and seasonal ladder resets for a fresh start. You can also switch between the remastered look and the original graphics.

What it costs

On Steam UK the Infernal Edition, which includes the original game, Lord of Destruction and Reign of the Warlock, costs £35.99. There is no in-game store, battle pass or random paid item. Players who already own Resurrected can buy Reign of the Warlock on its own; Gematsu reported its price as £21.99 at launch, which is more than half the price of the full Infernal Edition. We couldn't read Blizzard's own UK shop page to confirm it.

Compare Diablo IV, which adds a paid battle pass on top of the game price.

Drop rates

Diablo II is famous for its loot, and its drop chances are some of the most studied in gaming. They are not official, though. Blizzard doesn't publish full drop tables for Diablo II. The "treasure class" tables players use were worked out by the community from the game's data files, some from versions released before Resurrected, so we don't list them in the drop-rate index. Blizzard's patch notes describe drop changes only in words: Season 15, for example, "increased the chance of dropping Rare quality and higher items" from Herald Tiers 3 and above.

Seasons

Resurrected runs ladder seasons that reset characters on a fresh economy. Season 15 started on 21 August 2026 with patch 3.3.

Runewords added in patch 2.6

Patch 2.6, released on 15 February 2023 for Ladder Season Three, added eight runewords. Blizzard's notes list them as Bulwark, Cure, Ground, Hearth and Temper (all Shael + Io + a third rune, in a helm), Hustle (Shael + Ko + Eld, any weapon or armour), Mosaic (Mal + Gul + Amn, in a claw) and Metamorphosis (Io + Cham + Fal, in a helm). Blizzard published each one's runes and stats in those notes. For all 98 runewords, including the originals from Lord of Destruction and the five Reign of the Warlock added, see our table of every Diablo 2 runeword, with runes, sockets, item types and level.

The 30-day peak on Steam Charts was 5,128 concurrent players on 3 October 2026. Its all-time Steam peak is 15,196, in February 2026, the month it launched there. Players on Battle.net and consoles aren't counted.
