Made possible by the people who built, expanded and preserved Diablo II.
DEV D2 is developed with gratitude for the original game and expansion teams, Project Diablo 2, and the community projects that have kept classic Diablo II evolving.
Diablo II and Lord of Destruction
Our first and largest acknowledgement is to Blizzard North and everyone who designed, programmed, wrote, illustrated, animated, scored, voiced, tested, produced and supported Diablo II and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. Their work created Sanctuary and every later modification depends upon it.
Diablo II, Lord of Destruction and related names, characters, artwork, inventory graphics and trademarks belong to Blizzard Entertainment and their respective rights holders. No ownership is claimed by DEV D2.
Project Diablo 2
DEV D2 is built on Project Diablo 2. Its team and contributors created the rebalance, itemisation, corruption, mapping and endgame foundations from which this independent spin-off developed.
Graphics, resolution and modern compatibility
D2GL — Bayaraa
Modern OpenGL presentation, resolution support, high-definition text, unlocked presentation and quality-of-life work.
D2DX — bolrog
Modern Glide wrapping, widescreen support, high-framerate motion prediction and related research. Patch contributions are credited to Xenthalon.
SGD2FreeRes — Mir Drualga / SlashGaming
Custom-resolution support and user-interface repositioning. Jarcho is credited by the project for adding support for versions 1.10 and 1.12A.
The Diablo II modding community
The Phrozen Keep, SlashDiablo and the reverse engineers, tool authors, filter writers, server developers and archivists whose public work made continued development possible.
Website item artwork
The small item thumbnails on this website are decoded from the inventory graphics in the user-supplied current DEV D2 and Diablo II data archives. They are used to help players identify the corresponding in-game items and remain the property of their respective rights holders.
