For those who aren't aware, in Diablo 2 you would hire followers to conquer Hell's gates along with you, however when the followers were killed, you needed be able to rehire them using cold, hard cash. New followers were introduced in each zone, meaning some were far superior than others.

This was changed in Diablo 3, where instead hiring mercenaries, players got three different companions throughout the story's campaign.

That's my definition of sus.If any iteration of the follower system does make it into Diablo 2 Resurrected, I'd rather it was the Diablo 2 style hired gun instead of the ubiquitous friends. I liked the vast array of abilities that followers brought to the table during Diablo 2 and would love to see this reimagined. It will create more possibilities for various designs, and awesome demon-slaying ability chains.

But for the time being, you may want to study the Diablo 2 Resurrected classes as it's them we'll be playing as the primary. In a separate interview , games director Joe Shely, however, it was suggested that the roster could be expanded since there's no guarantee of longevity in Sanctuary.

The principal developers of Diablo 2 Resurrected have stressed that they don't want players to "feel as though they're paying to win" when the game releases next year.
