Diablo 2 celebrates its 17th birthday

17 years of ARPG brilliance as Diablo 2 celebrates another birthday.

It was 17 years ago when many of you probably bunked of school or college to get stuck into one of the finest PC games ever made. Here at Diabloii.Net and DiabloWiki we were super excited about its release and we thank all of you who came along with us for the Diablo 2 ride.

Diablo 2 was released 17 years ago, 29 July 2000. It seems like a long time ago now but it’s one of the most enduring games ever made with a large community still playing the classic. By 2014, Diablo 2 had sold a whopping 20 million copies proving it was a smash hit for Blizzard.

David Brevik took to Twitter to wish Diablo 2 a happy birthday today too.

I think we can all agree that Diablo 2 is simply fantastic and I hope that Blizzard is currently working on that remaster. Happy birthday Diablo 2 and to the Diablo 2 community here on Diabloii.Net.
