Why did the second expansion film "Reden" of Diablo 2 die prematurely?

Jul 04 2025

  "Diablo 2" was originally scheduled to release the second expansion called "Reden" after the expansion of "King of Destruction". This dusty plan was recently released by project veteran David Brevik for the first time.

According to his disclosure, "Reden" planned to introduce a new professional "priest" and a number of undisclosed content, but due to Blizzard's senior decision-making adjustments, the development of the expansion pack was stopped, and the team and resources were fully turned to the Diablo 3 project.

  In the development stage of "Dark 3", Blizzard launched several new projects at the same time, resulting in the dispersion of development forces, which directly led to a significant extension of the development cycle of the three generations of works. After repeated delays, this sequel finally officially met with players in 2012. The "Redification" chapter originally scheduled to be continued by the second generation has become an unfinished legend in the development history of the Diablo series.
