During a GDC 2021 discussion, Genshin Impact developer Hoyoverse (previously Mihoyo) outright admitted that its method for designing characters revolved around generating the highest amount of money from its fans. This year’s Raiden Shogun and Kokomi character reruns of D2R Items March 2022 alone netted the company more than $33 million in revenues.
The moment was immortalized by jokes and memes, a lot of it rooted in disappointment of the audience: People who attended BlizzCon 2018 were anticipating “Diablo 2 Resurrected” news. It also stemmed from an unresolved stigma surrounding smartphone games that are popular in the West in the United States, where the use of smartphones as a gaming platform has been slower than the other regions parts of the planet.
Since it’s launch, “Diablo 2 Resurrected” has boosted its reputation, as alpha and beta tests proved the game was an incredibly full-on traditional Diablo experience. (It was also helpful that Blizzard chose to bring Diablo 2 Resurrected to PC.) In the Diablo series is among the most influential of modern game design. It has popularized gameplay loops that are centered around the acquisition of randomized “loot” to improve your role-playing characters efficient. “Diablo 2” that was just remasteredand relaunched, solidified the gameplay loop, whereas “Diablo 3” which Cheng also worked on, was streamlined and refined it.

The game releases June 2.
Cheng’s enthusiasm about the project was palpable in an interview with him. “I am convinced that Diablo 2 Resurrected’ will change a lot of players’ perceptions of the notion of an app for mobile devices,” Cheng told The Washington Post. “That was our main goals since the beginning. Let’s raise the standard of what people can expect from the mobile games.”
“I have three children and they’re all teenagers. They do not make the same distinction between console, PC , or mobile,” Cheng said. “They have a passion for gaming across all kinds of platforms.”
The game is set to see an simultaneous launch on PC with full keyboard-and-mouse as well as controller support, in addition to cross progression and cross play with mobile support at the start of the game. The decision was based on the Beta test where game content creators stated they’d need to replicate the game in order to show the game on their platforms according to Diablo 2 Resurrected Items Rod Fergusson, general manager of the Diablo franchise.
