Steel Mantis’ 2019 side-scrolling shooter Valfaris was an impressive game, and thanks to its metal world and its frantic action, it made quite an impression. Its upcoming sequel, interestingly enough, is making some changes.

Diablo 2: Resurrected stays true to the original, bringing back all the dungeon-crawling content from 2000—including the mysterious chat gem. D2R players got to familiarize themselves with the lobby yesterday after server issues prevented players from creating games. And with nothing to do but wait, new players may have noticed an age-old Easter egg located directly under your character’s name.
