Diablo 2: Resurrected Patch 2.4: Balance changes, Ladder, coming early 2022

Diablo 2: Resurrected is getting the first new patch in 2.4 since 1.13c 11 years ago for the game’s original release. This patch for the remastered version will be bringing balance improvements, item changes and more, before the first Ladder season.

Early 2022, Diablo 2: Resurrected will launch a 2.4 Public Test Realm (PTR) with these updates. Full details can be found through the official blog, summarized as follows:

• Changes to skills across all character classes to expand build diversity and class fantasy
• New Horadric Cube Recipes, Rune Words
• Set Item changes
• Improvements to mercenary companions

For the more competitive players, the first Ladder season will finally officially start early next year for their spot in the leaderboards. Ladder will also be where you can unlock entirely new Rune Words, exclusive to the format. There’ll be four different Ladder modes which you can participate in. At the end of the season, Ladder characters of players who successfully created these Rune Words will be moved into a ‘non-Ladder’ version of the game to continue playing until the next season kicks off again with new rewards.

A broadcast and presentation will be going through the planned changes, and will be an opportunity for you to ask questions of MrLlamaSC, Diablo 2: Resurrected Design Lead, Robert Gallerani, and Senior Game Producer, Matthew Cederquist.
