Resurrected pretties up ye olde game with new 3D art to replace the old sprites and such, but is still Diablo 2 v1.14 at heart. And unlike the Warcraft 3 remaster, D2 Resurrected won’t replace the original game. If you own it, you’ll still be able to play it same as ever. And apparently the two are so similar at heart, you can load original saves into the remaster. I have been impressed by Blizzard’s commitment to the old style, going so far as to dig up the old 3D models used to create the originals spirites then reworking into new models - Tyrael’s glorious wings are straight from that 3D model. An open beta is planned, and you can sign sign up for a chance to get into earlier testing stages or pre-order for guaranteed early access to the open beta (never pre-order, you know that). Diablo II: Resurrected is coming to PC via Battle.net on the 23rd of September. It’ll also be on Switch, PlayStations, and Xboxes. E3 2021 may be over but our memories live on - see everything on our E3 hub. Many more big game showcases and streams are still to come this summer, leading up to Gamescom, so see our summer games stream schedule to stay up to date.
