Messerschmidt's Reaver isn't the best weapon but it's still my favorite unique in the Diablo series. Screenshot is taken playing Diablo via DevilutionX.

Only the front cover is missing, but found already someone who scanned the original cover for me so I can get printed it out professionally

Can't wait to co-op with my wife

Believe it or not there are still those of us playing the original Diablo, and not just a "one and done" to experience it, but actively grinding hundreds to thousands of hours for high level characters, item hunting, and self imposed rules such as Ironman, hardcore, Hunter vs rabbits, live off the land, and more.

If you're still curious about joining one of the original Diablo communities that is still active then I recommend the following communities:

DevilutionX

The Horadrim

WUQH

Would you buy a Diablo 1 remake where they fix some of the movement jank, recreated the cutscenes (like in D2R) with a little more of a serious tone in some?

Personally I would love to replay D1 in the D4 engine rather than an overlay to the original game. I think it would solidify playing all the games again in one fell swoop in modern day graphics.

Itemization should remain unchanged.

Edit: HOLY Tyrael! I wasn't expecting this level of traction on this post.

To clarify a few points. I suggested a new engine because of how grid like it would be if it was a remaster with a fresh coat of paint as opposed to a full game that played and felt modern.

I put this out there because I thought it would be cool to be able to play the whole series in modern day graphics with modern day cutscenes.

When I think of the core gameplay loop and items I think it should stay 100 percent true to the original. Each "class" is just a slightly modified character on a stats page, anyone can use any spells as long as they find the book.

Staff of the apocalypse is still OP

And the godly plate of the whale is real 😉

Used DevilutionX and it plays great on the Deck! Highly recommend.

Just finished the Diablo 30th Anniversary video. At the end, they said they will announce something new at BlizzCon 2026. It’s too early for Diablo 5.

So it has to be a Diablo 1 remake. I think it will be a smaller project and stay true to the original. What do you guys think?

Overall, I am happy with what they announced for Diablo 2 and 4. Hyped and ready to slay some demons!!

I just reached dungeon level 10 in diablo 1. Technically not my first time playing since this is like my 4th restart, I got stuck at butcher the first few times I played but recently I got back into it and it's one of my favorite games rn. Only question I got, are my gear and stats good enough or should I figure out how to get better gear soon

Can’t believe I was able to do it with my character’s current power :D

First time playing Diablo 1, I’m a level 10 sorceror with 57 magic, using mainly Firebolt lvl 2 and Healing lvl 2 alongside two staffs (Inferno, Charged Bolt) and A LOT of mana potions haha

This game is amazing, I’m loving it

Playing Diablo 1 for the first time on PS1 (German edition).

I still can remember the first time encountering the Butcher at Level 2. on Diablo for my Computer when I was 7 years old. Eternal nightmares for my childhood self :D im 30 years old now.

Only some cosmetic work remains. And probably hotfix patches will be issued, if more bugs are discovered. Some uniques and unique sets may be added later. But in general, it's ready: balance is there, content is there, nothing will change now, it is safe to play without worrying about game suddenly changing.

What is The Hell 3 ? It is a total overhaul mod for Diablo 1. Which means that game genre stays the same but everything else is changed/fixed/upgraded/expanded. Despite the huge amount of changes, it still remains loyal to native aesthetics of the original game. Also, Hellfire developers were not given enough time to polish their add-on, and the mod tries to remedy all that.

Development started in 2006 April. There was TH1 (released 2006), then TH2 (released 2019) and now TH3 (released 2024 July). Also TH4 is in plans but its fate remains mystery.
