Diablo 2 Resurrected Reign of the Warlock DLC: New Warlock Class Guide & Buy on Steam/Battle.net Now!

Blizzard just unleashed hell on Sanctuary! The Reign of the Warlock DLC for Diablo II: Resurrected dropped yesterday, February 11, 2026—25+ years after the original 2000 release. This $24.99 powerhouse adds the first new class, the demon-summoning Warlock, plus endgame overhauls that min-maxers will devour. Available now on Steam and Battle.net.

Official key art: The Warlock commands forbidden powers amid demonic shadows.

The Warlock: Summon Demons, Dominate Hell

Wielding forbidden arts, hellfire, shadows, and demon domination, the Warlock is the eighth class and first new one since Lord of Destruction's Assassin/Druid. Perfect for summoner builds—think Necro on steroids. It's also hitting Diablo IV's Lord of Hatred on April 28 and Diablo Immortal this summer as part of the franchise's 30th anniversary bash.

Community Buzz: Hype vs. Price Salt

X is exploding—"LOVING IT! The Warlock is AMAZING", "This is how a proper DLC looks like" with companions overhaul. Fans crave StarCraft updates too: "Sick. Now do Brood War and SC2."

But backlash brews: "$25 for a new character? Scam" and "$25 is such a slap to the face." Some fear D3/D4-ification: "I’m so afraid they just Diablo 3 and 4’d our beloved D2." Veterans vs. newbies debate rages—Infernal Edition sweetens the deal for fresh blood.

Warlock in action: Hellfire and shadows shred Fallen shamans.

Final Verdict: Worth the Grind?

10/10 revival—preserves D2's soul while fixing pain points. Warlock builds will shatter ladders come Feb 20 ladder reset. Veterans: Shell out for legacy; newbies: Grab Infernal Edition. Sanctuary awaits—summon your demons today!
