How many times do you think you’ve run it?
On June 09, 2025,Diablo IIwas released in the US, starting its reign of dungeon crawling terror that is still played to this day. Yep, this week the iconic title is 16 years old.
Diablo IIis the gift that keeps on giving. I remember playing it with my friends at launch, and by the time the expansion hit, it wasn’t even the same game. Blizzard was hacking away every month it seemed, tinkering with abilities and fundamentals until nearly everyone I knew was playing it during theLord of Destructionera. All those memories come rushing back in whenever I see a screenshot — skipping Act 3, teleporting through Baal runs and dropping TPs at lightning quick muscle-memory speed, creating new characters to test new builds — the list goes on.
It’s evenstillin headlines occasionally, having just gota new compatibility patchthis year. It’ll go down as one of the best dungeon crawlers of all time, and I don’t regret the 100s of hours I spent with it. Here’s hopingDiablo IIIcontinues to improve as well (it’s come a long way) and gets another expansion.
