Blizzard Entertainment and GOG.COM have teamed up to rerelease select classic Blizzard games, beginning with Diablo®, Blizzard’s legendary 1996 action role-playing game that introduced players to the harsh—and deeply rewarding—world of Sanctuary.

The original Diablo® is available now via digital distribution for the first time ever on GOG.COM. Players looking for the authentic Diablo experience can play the game as it was in 1996, with period-appropriate 20 FPS SVGA graphics, and the ability to matchmake through the classic version of Blizzard’s Battle.net® online-gaming service.

Blizzard and GOG.COM have collaborated on an updated version of the game, which includes out-of-the-box Windows 10 compatibility, and a host of bug fixes. Players can choose either version of the game from a launcher.

Grargar: Maybe the rights to Hellfire are all well and fine and Blizzard just doesn't want to be associated with a product they didn't develop.

They're promoting immortal. They've tried to bury Hellfire for years.

Correct! However, this was in response to someone claiming they'd not associate with a product they didn't develop.

So I was right in thinking that Hellfire is stuck in legal limbo?

Apples and oranges:

"[Diablo Immortal:] Developed by Blizzard and NetEase, the game was announced in late 2018..."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_Immortal

Note that "Bizzard" there, unlike Hellfire, where Blizzard neither participated in the original development nor publishing.

Now if warcraft 2 does not have the beyond the black portal expansion,that is a legitimate ground for bitching. That was an official, in house expansion by Blizzard.

Diablo Immortal is for mobile devices only...I am betting it probably a scaled down version of the original Diablo.

Amazing news! Never expected this. Also nice to see warcraft coming, I really hope they can bring Diablo 2 and Starcraft with broodwar.

We should be getting the battle.net edition of that game as it was the one blizzard moved to for the network. using the older version without battlenet would be a bad idea.

qlGGlp: Thank you so much for releasing this game here GOG and Activision Blizzard. I've been waiting for this day for such a long time.

Someone please help me, I'm addicted. Just like in the past. This is my second run and I can assure you, that it won't be the last one.

P.S. Bought Diablo II and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction from them as a thank you thingy. Offline installers with keys and that's it, so as close to DRM free as it gets.

DreamedArtist: I still own my cd copy of D2 with expansion and Warcraft 3 set and StarCraft set. when applied with the latest EXE patch from blizzard before they went online updater for them, they all work Perfect on high end 2019 hardware with no issues even to 4k resolution or above.

PC gamer did an article on this and said that we are slated to get the Warcraft 1,2 games here so I am interested to see if we get the battle.net edition of 2.

Later on we should be getting D2 and StarCraft and Warcraft 3. once that happens I can retire my disc set and give it to someone for free.
I own Diablo II with LoD, Diablo with Hellfire as well. Unfortunately I don't have them with me, so digital versions are my rescue. I'm not buying anywhere else other than on GOG, but this time I had to do it. You're getting offline installers and that key doesn't bother me that much. If it's going to be released here as well, I'll definitely buy it again.

I can't wait for the rest of old Blizzard games here, they are so good. I've managed to run Diablo II, StarCraft and Warcraft II on my Android phone using ExaGear Strategies. Looking at Diablo, I'm sure that Warcraft II is gonna be the Battle.net edition one.

Klumpen0815: Damn addincting indeed, although I like to play it like this:
Ah, Belezbub! I will try it after let's say my third run of vanilla Diablo. Then Diablo II with Lord of Destruction expansion pack on my phone I suppose.

If you have the Diablo 2 - LoD disc release, be sure to use
https://www.moddb.com/games/diablo-2/news/d2multires
it has no game-play changes at all, just adds HD options.
I played it a lot in LAN as well.
Why the disc release? Because it only works with LoD v1.12a, not with v1.13c, which is the version of Battle.Net's current installer.

I hope that if GOG ever releases Diablo 2 here, they'll track down that guy and pay him to update it.

You mean the game that Blizzard is co-developing and promoting, neither of which was true for Hellfire?

Yah. We know. We were discussing projects NOT developed by Blizzard. Pay attention to the context.

Do you realize what a let down most of the future releases are going to be now?

There's already 1.14d version available. Thank you for this, but I'm used to lower resolutions and pixelated graphics. Even in new games I'm lowering resolution to 640x480, because I just like them this way. You know, an old fashioned guy!
