Diablo 2: Resurrected
Platforms: PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch | Release: 2021 | Payment model: Buy2Play | Website: Website of Diablo 2: Resurrected
What is Diablo 2: Resurrected? The remaster of the classic Diablo 2 primarily improves graphics. Instead of fighting 2D monster sprites, you face detailed 3D creatures. Additionally, there will be versions for new consoles. However, the gameplay is meant to remain classic.
- You experience the same story in 5 acts as in 2000
- You play the classes Amazon, Assassin, Necromancer, Barbarian, Paladin, Sorceress, and Druid
- There will be cross-progression, allowing you to transfer your progress to other platforms
- The leaderboard seasons will be revised
- The UI will receive optimizations
- The loot chest will be expanded
For whom is Diablo 2: Resurrected suitable? Diablo 2: Resurrected is naturally aimed at anyone who played Diablo 2 in 2000 and wants to experience that sensation again in a more modern form. But newcomers will also see how Diablo 2 felt like when it was played over 20 years ago.
Forecast – How good could Diablo 2: Resurrected be? Fans have been waiting for a remaster of Diablo 2 for a long time. What Blizzard has shown so far goes exactly in the direction that players imagine. An optical improvement while leaving the gameplay untouched.
However, the disappointment of the Warcraft 3 remake still lingers, which did not meet fans’ expectations. Therefore, the community is hopeful, but also somewhat skeptical about Diablo 2: Resurrected.
