To the surprise of everyone, Diablo 2 got its first new class and major content update in 25 years as part of the shadow-dropped Reign of Warlock expansion. And now that the floodgates are wide open, Blizzard Entertainment is testing the waters to potentially add more new stuff to the 1999 RPG.

For a quick recap, Blizzard went all out at this week's Diablo Spotlight, revealing that the new Warlock class is coming to Diablo 2, Diablo Immortal, and Diablo 4 in a connected overarching narrative. Diablo 2's Warlock is in the game as I type, Diablo 4's is coming alongside an expansion in April, and Diablo Immortal is getting the class sometime this summer.
