Developer Blizzard Entertainment released a massive patch for the remaster Diablo II: Resurrected. Update 2.4 introduces the Ladder launch and marks the start of the first competitive Ladder season later in April. The developers have also introduced a number of updates impacting a multitude of gameplay elements and systems.
“For the first time in over a decade, we’re implementing significant gameplay changes to promote new strategies for your next trip to Sanctuary. Among the changes are various updates for each class, new Rune Words, fresh Horadric Cube Recipes, Mercenary reworks, and much more!”
The Ladder launch represents an optional ranked competitive system of the game through a series of modes available to select from with a fresh Ladder-specific character. Each of the four mode will have their own leaderboard where players compete to strategically gain experience within a limited timeframe while having access to Ladder-specific content.
The update also introduced class balance changes for the first time since March 2010, updated item tooltips, introduced new Rune Words, Horadric Cube Recipes and more.
