![]() ![]() (Representatives for multiple Activision and Blizzard projects have still yet to respond to my ongoing questions about WC3R. That's harsh stuff for anyone who chose to spend $30 (or more) on Reforged, so it still needs fixing before we can pretend the company's shaky reputation is anywhere near restored. A group at Vicarious Visions is also working on the remake, which was known as Diablo II: Resurrected.Further Reading Activision releases online-only PC game without online content, cracked in one dayAfter successfully spit-shining StarCraft Remastered in 2016, the Blizzard Classic team followed with the unforgivable milkweed that is WarCraft III: Reforged-and I say "unforgivable" because we're currently eight unfulfilled months beyond that game's last tease of highly demanded features. Shortly after the postmortem, however, Blizzard pulled that project from the team and put the division behind Diablo IV in charge. ![]() Team 1 wanted to avoid repeating the mistakes of Warcraft III: Reforged on its next project, the remake of Diablo II. For example, Blizzard announced the game in November 2018 and began taking pre-orders for 2019 without informing most of the development team beforehand, according to several people who worked on Warcraft III: Reforged. Internal Blizzard documents reviewed by Bloomberg pinpointed the game’s failures on poor planning, miscommunication and a rushed release due to financial pressure from management, among other factors.

The title was poorly received due to glitches and missing features, earning 59 out of 100 points on the review aggregator Metacritic - the lowest score a Blizzard game has ever gotten. Its most recent release, in January 2020, was a remake called Warcraft III: Reforged. Until last year, the Diablo II remake was set to be developed by Blizzard’s Team 1, part of the company’s Irvine, California, campus that had become known for reworking classic games. ![]()
