Diablo 2: Resurrected Ladder Now Live
Diablo 2: Resurrected's ladder will offer four unique modes to play through. There will be both a Classic and Hardcore Classic ladder, which are played on the base four acts on Diablo 2: Resurrected. The remaining two are the Expansion Ladder and the Hardcore Expansion ladder, which include the fifth act from the Lord of Destruction expansion. Hardcore, for those unfamiliar D2R Items, means that characters permanently die on death, for the ultimate challenge.

There's no official word regarding when Diablo 2: Resurrected's first ladder season will end. The original Diablo 2's ladder seasons settled into a rhythm of around 180 days per season, but there's no guarantee Diablo 2: Resurrected will match that. Blizzard may try to do faster seasons for the new game. It could also do slower seasons, to ensure new content arrives with each ladder's end. Time will tell.
Part of why Diablo fans have been so excited about the first ladder is the release of patch 2.4, the first major update for Diablo 2 since March 2010. Diablo 2: Resurrected's first ladder season caught a short delay, however, so patch 2.4 arrived two weeks ago. It makes the occasion a little less exciting, but Diablo fans aren't likely to let that stymie their hype.
This has been a day Diablo fans have been anticipating for a long time. It's a variety of all-new content, a new way to experience the leveling experience of Diablo 2 never seen before. And it's a competitive experience experienced with all of Diablo 2 Resurrected Items: Resurrected's updated visuals and features. Maybe today's ladder update will be the first step toward a new Diablo 2: Resurrected expansion, too.
