I thought it was pretty much confirmed that this was happening to at least some "Classic" games, if not D2 specifically. When I hear that, I imagine a completely rewritten game from the ground up, so I'm still not sure what they gain from updating D2. Maybe just as a side project while their new team studies how the game worked?
