‘Diablo’ is a series of video games developed by Blizzard Entertainment originally in 1996 and followed by eight more games, including sequels and remakes of the same. The third part of the game has already had two remakes, and the second part has had one. Apart from this, two upcoming games in the series are ‘Diablo IV’ and ‘Diablo Immortal,’ and the former can be expected to be played on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4. Another remaster of ‘Diablo II’ might be in the works, and it is speculated that game development studio Vicarious Visions may be the one working on this new project.
