Diablo fans across the globe have spent their weekends diving into the new and improved Diablo 2 Resurrected, Blizzard\u2019s highly anticipated remaster of the original title. Not only are players finally getting to see the desolate plains of Sanctuary in all their gory glory, but they\u2019re also finally getting their hands on the stealthy Assassin, who was previously unavailable during the Tech Alpha and Beta runs of the game. Despite controversy surrounding her in-game appearance, one cosplayer has brought their version of the shadowy character to life in a cosplay that would even send shivers down Diablo\u2019s spine. Diablo 2 Resurrected cosplay gets Blizzard\u2019s approval Russian cosplayer Wolnir_cosplay (better known as Natalya) is ready to slay Hell\u2019s finest in style with her stunning Assassin cosplay, and has even managed to score Blizzard\u2019s seal of approval in the process! \u201cDiablo was (and still is) my favorite game from childhood,\u201d she told Dexerto, and the release of Diablo 2 Resurrected inspired her to bring her favorite character to life. \u201cThe Assassin class in Diablo was my favorite since I was a little girl. I don\u2019t even know why, perhaps something in design or weapons (katars and claws are the best!) that I really liked while everyone else seemed to enjoy the Sorceress or Barbarian.\u201d Cosplaying the Assassin wasn\u2019t just a choice, though, it was fate. After discovering that the Assassin NPC located in Act 3\u2019s Kurast Docks was her namesake, Natalya told Dexerto that \u201csince my real name is Natalya (it even spells exactly the same) I thought this was my destiny!\u201d From then on in, her cosplay was clearly destined for greatness. Despite joking that the look\u2019s construction had her \u201ccrying in despair,\u201d she\u2019s no doubt crying with happiness now seeing her work finally complete. From the worn armor on her shoulders to those deadly katars, Natalya has truly become Sanctuary\u2019s next hero. View this post on Instagram \u201cI liked how the armor and leather parts looked in the remaster. But I still loved (aesthetically) her naked legs and makeup from the original game, so I had to merge two designs together to make a new version of Assassin adding Natalya\u2019s signature cloak.\u201d What\u2019s even cooler is that she confirms \u201cno velcro or any \u2018modern\u2019 materials were used: it just doesn\u2019t need that! Leather strips with little metal buckles hold everything in place and it works just like real armor.\u201d View this post on Instagram This stunning recreation of D2R\u2019s shadowy warrior hasn\u2019t just captured our imaginations, though, it has also caught Blizzard\u2019s attention. With the official Diablo Twitter account retweeting her fearsome look, she\u2019s even earned Blizzard\u2019s bloody seal of approval. Read More: Diablo 2 Resurrected review &#8211; \u201cI love this game with all my heart and I still replay it once every couple of years,\u201d she confesses, and her passion for the game shines through in everything she told us. We can\u2019t wait to watch her Diablo journey unfold, especially if Natalya manages to sneak her way into Diablo 4. She jokingly pleads \u201cI really hope they will show her in Diablo 4, please, Blizzard, we need that,\u201d but she\u2019s got us desperate for a little Assassin cameo, too. After all, we need Wolnir\u2019s D4 Natalya cosplay in our lives!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diablo 2 Resurrected cosplayer strikes from the shadows as stealthy Assassin Blizzard Entertainment, Natalya Scheraya,One Diablo 2 Resurrected cosplayer is ready to slay demons and take names with her stunning rendition of the Assassin.
