Blizzard has officially announced its heavily anticipated remaster of Diablo II, Diablo II: Resurrected. The existence of the game was confirmed during today’s BlizzConline event, which coincided with the launch of a beautiful new website that detailed Diablo II: Resurrected’s various improvements over the 2000 original. Those would include completely redone graphics in Ultra High Definition 4k (2160p) resolution, cross-progression between each supported platform, revamped ladder seasons, a redesigned user interface, and an expanded stash for more loot.
“Diablo II: Resurrected is a remastered version of the quintessential action RPG Diablo II,” Blizzard explained. “Pursue the mysterious Dark Wanderer and fight the denizens of hell as you uncover the fate of the Prime Evils Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, now in up to 4K (2160p) resolution on PC.”
“Diablo II: Resurrected includes all content from both Diablo II and its epic expansion Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. Battle your way through icy caverns, horrific tombs filled with undead abominations, and frozen wastelands to the frigid summit of Mount Arreat and stop Baal, the Lord of Destruction. Raise hell with two Lord of Destruction playable classes—the cunning Assassin, master of traps and shadow disciplines, and the savage Druid, a bold shapeshifter and summoner who commands primal elemental magic.”
Diablo II: Resurrected will be released for the PC (via Battle.net), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch later this year. In the meantime, Diablo fans can opt in for an opportunity to join the game’s upcoming Technical Alpha by visiting the official website.
