Hellfire expansion is now available as a free add-on for everyone who purchases the Blizzard classic Diablo on GOG.COM.

Originally developed by Synergistic Software and released in 1997, Hellfire was not an official Blizzard product and did not carry Blizzard’s endorsement or label. Despite that, in response to Diablo players who have expressed a desire to experience the content, Blizzard has given the OK for it to be included as a free add-on with Diablo purchases on GOG.COM.

Hellfire offers a non-canonical single-player storyline where players must defeat a powerful demon named Na-Krul who is threatening Tristram. The expansion also adds a Monk class, new weapons and items, new missions, locations, dungeons, and enemies. Hellfire will be accessible while launching the original Diablo.

The Hellfire expansion comes with high-resolution support and compatibility updates to allow it to run on modern systems, and it’s available now as a free add-on for everyone who purchases the Blizzard classic Diablo. The game is currently 10% off during the Summer Sale Festival until June 17, 10 PM UTC.
Holy c***.

Hellfire does not read the video settings configuration file at all.

Temp fix is to copy the one from the DX folder to the hellfire folder.

Qbix: Neat!!!
I assume (or is it "presume"?), you`re from Synergistic? THX, I loved the Hellfire expansion back then, and I`m glad that it`s here!!!

I actually got chills when I saw this, and I'm not even personally interested in the game.

Thank you Blizzard letting GOG do this! And of course thanks GOG and whoever politely pestered Blizz about this ;)

idbeholdME: They actually managed to get it. Impressive.

I hope you can still launch the original game without Hellfire and that it isn't built-in.

emter_pl: You can choose which version you want to play in the game launcher.
Consider editing the "Great old game but it lacks Sierra expansion Hellfire." review to reflect the change, something like "GOG staff edit: as of June 5 2019 the game now includes the Hellfire expansion :)"

Qbix is the developer of DOSBox, which is used on nearly a hundred GOG games (or more than a hundred, now).
Damn, I guess it saves me money and time.
oh
my
friggin
cow
Love it. Are the "hidden" options like bard and barbarian class, cow quest, etc. also available from the start or do I have to insert the txt files myself?
I saw the shiny new cover art and can't believe that Hellfire is not only here (GOG bear must have mauled somebody and insisted it be added to the catalog) but is a free update/included with purchase of Diablo without raising the base price of the game. This is shaping up to be the most amazing Sale ever. BioShock Infinite complete, this... what's next, GOG? :D

Kudos!!!

Sometimes I think that your job is simply being amazing and not selling pc games!
Nice work!
Thank you very much, GOG team! Was browsing through my library, and then Diablo started updating, and then it`s suddenly Hellfire. You made my day!
WOW, just WOW!
Sweet! Thanks, GOG
