I really hope this does make it out for the holiday. So, I would lend some weight to this rumor, both because of the source, and because of common sense. No word on what the Stone of Jordan economy might be like when it returns. Given that you can still play original Diablo 2 now and get hopelessly addicted, I have to believe a proper remaster would have the same effect.
We know the somewhat odd PvE expansion of Overwatch, called Overwatch 2 despite its questionable credentials as a true sequel, is on the way, but definitely not in time for this holiday.ĭiablo 4 is also on the distant horizon, and though we have seen a decent amount of footage from it, it is still likely to be a few years away, so this release would scratch that Diablo itch in the meantime. No release date has been set other than "this year.Why is this coming now? Because Blizzard, as ever, is not exactly being terribly timely with its releases. Speaking of, Diablo II: Resurrected will be available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and of course PC. There have been some changes, including an improved UI and obviously some control and usability tweaks for the console versions. In terms of co-op, eight player online co-op is supported along with the mercenary system that allows you to hire an AI friend to help with missions. All character progression will be cross platform as well. All the original skills and abilities are present as well with the classic style leveling and progression system. All six classes from the original Diablo II and the Lord of Destruction expansion are present - Assassin, Necromancer, Barbarian, Paladin, Sorceress, and Druid.
The game will remain largely unchanged in terms of gameplay. The entire game has been remastered in a modified version of the Diablo 3 engine supporting 4K Resolutions. And taking a queue from several other remasters like Halo, the game will offer the ability to flip between classic graphics and modern on the fly. Blizzard is releasing a remastered version of Diablo II called Diablo II: Resurrected. The long rumor has finally come to light.
