'Diablo 2: Resurrected' 2.5 Update Patch Notes Revealed

Players believe that they have found a hidden message in the 2.5 update patch notes for "Diablo 2: Resurrected." The secret can be found at the bottom of the official website's patch note update page.

According to the story by Games Radar, this confirms that Terror Zones have finally been opening up access throughout the main game servers after they were initially being tested on the Public Test Realm.

What the Hidden Message Looked Like in the Patch Notes

To make things even more interesting, a photo was added with a sentence that said, "we were flipping through the old Diablo 2 manual and found this confounding description... what does it all mean?"

The photo shows a lot of different Diablo-themed props, as well as a book that comes with three codes that were written on the page. The clues also include a drawing of a pentagram as well as an IRL ring and medallion.

Fans are Trying to Work Together In Order to Decipher the Message

PC Games N was able to discover the massive amount of interest that this particular hidden message started to garner. The article picked up the game's subreddit, which was able to find out that the code was indeed decipherable with the help of a 500-year-old cipher called the Vigenere Cipher.

When fans use "Resurrected" as the decryption key, the message would apparently say that "so many gems what do these orange numbers mean," adding to the suspense of the hidden message and what lies underneath.

Correlation Believed to be Found Between the Code and the Passage within the Diablo 2 Manual

After different attempts and numerous trials and errors, users were able to discover that they could actually get a nine-digit number if they decided to spam the chat gem within the online lobby.

From there, they notably believed that they were able to find a correlation between the code and the passage within the Diablo 2 manual. The correlation was thought to be seen in the page number, line number, and word number, like a lot of different codes.

Group Believes They Transcribed 664 Words Of the 666-Word Passage

The group then believes that they were able to transcribe 664 words of the 666-word passage. What was left was the 026 word that has yet to be deciphered, although some would say that the answer is "fate."

There is reportedly a public spreadsheet that is trying to track the progress of the deciphering in order to get down to the real deal and find out what the hidden message is about. Fans can chime in and help discover what the message really means.
