So for now, Actugaming has the benefit of the doubt on Diablo II: Resurrected by Vicarious Visions. If the project has been in the works these past months, there won’t be updates until the allegued Diablo II: Resurrected is officially announced - if ever.ĭiablo II: Resurrected at this point is myth based on an anonymous leak shared with Actugaming - who have the precedent of publishing past leaks that turned out to be true.

But that closing message? “Should we be able to restore this support in the future we will update accordingly” That right there tells me there are plans for a Diablo II restoration in 64-bit, but no longer will provide customer support updates. This is a hard pill to swallow for many who waited 15 months for a solution. Blizzard removed Mac support from the Diablo II system requirements page in the Shop. This is the new pinned message in the forum directory. Six months later, just 19 hours ago, a final update was posted, and the thread was locked. That was about the last we heard from customer support. This message was posted 8 months after the issue started. In June, customer support started suggesting the option to use Bootcamp as a workaround until they could provide a solution and even providing links for a refund to those who had purchased Diablo II recently.

The leak inspired me to write an article gathering all the crumbs that surround Diablo II, the Mac OS Catalina issue, and precedent of Blizzard Entertainment outsourcing projects to develop StarCraft: Remastered and Warcraft III: Reforged.Īnother customer support message went out around the time of the Vicarious Visions leak. Most recently, at that point in time, Vicarious Visions had ported Destiny 2 to PC… and that totally means Vicarious Visions and Blizzard Entertainment had interacted to bring Destiny 2 to - giving some sliver of credulity to the leak. If true, that would be a big deal, because Vicarious Visions has ported several Activision games to Nintendo Switch, Consoles, Android, iOS and other platforms. Nearly 2 months after that March update, there was an allegued leak that Vicarous Visions (a game studio owned by Activision) was working on Diablo II: Resurrected.
The update offered no foreseeable solution but he assured the team had been working all this time on a 64-bit version of Diablo II. No further updates were posted in this thread from November 2019 until March 2020 (4 months).

Nearly a month later, on November 2019, Kaldraydis confirmed they would work on a future patch to address the incompatibility issue. In the same month, October 2019, another customer support technician responded: In effect, Diablo II needs to be rebuilt from scratch onto a new modern game engine. There can never be a Diablo II: Remastered, because there are no 100% assets to remaster. The only way this can be done is by building new 4K and low-res art assets from scratch. Therefore, any attempt to recreate Diablo II to port to 64-bit is impossible. The main reason is that Diablo II source code was corrupted and lost - as revealed by the original Blizzard North developers. Shortly after, customer support Kaldraydis responded: Our dev team is investigating the compatibility issue with Diablo 2 and 10.15 Catalina.Įditor: The reason this issue happened is that Apple terminated support for 32-bit software in their Mac OS Catalina.
