It looks like Netflix could be adding an animated "Diablo" series to its original programming lineup.

Boom! Studios founder Andrew "Andy" Cosby tweeted on Wednesday that he's in "final talks" to write and show-run the upcoming series from Activision and Netflix. "It's very exciting and I hope to the High Heavens it all works out," he said.

[...] There's no information currently on what the "Diablo" series might entail, but Cosby will be bringing his pedigree as the writer behind the new "Hellboy" film reboot to the project, which should make for the kind of gory and violent expectations fans have for any series that could be based on the "Diablo" series.

My inner geek and child both say "yay!" but my inner cynic says "oh no...".

    Compile-able and somewhat readable: https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution [github.com]

    There's also Diablo: The Hell mod (closed source [patreon.com]) with the Hell 2 especially shaping up to something comparable or better than contemporary titles like Path of Exile and Grim Dawn.

      I found D2 very boring. It didn't have any story, sandbox, or crawl worth mentioning and all you did was item runs and grind for XP. The games might share a franchise, but the fact enemies don't respawn in D1 outside the NG/NG+ should tell you everything you need to know if you ever played other ARPGs.
