Description:
Diablo II: Resurrected is a definitive remaster of the classic action role-playing game Diablo II and its expansion, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. It was co-developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Vicarious Visions and was released for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
The game is a faithful recreation of the original, with the following key features and improvements:
-
Remastered Graphics: The entire game has been rebuilt with modern 3D graphics, bringing the world of Sanctuary to life in stunning 4K resolution. The developers painstakingly recreated every character, monster, item, and environment, all while preserving the original game's iconic look and feel. Players can also toggle between the new, high-definition graphics and the original 2D sprites at the press of a button.
-
Modern Quality-of-Life Updates: The remaster includes several small but impactful changes to improve the player experience without altering the core gameplay. This includes a Shared Stash that allows players to easily transfer items between their own characters, a feature for automatic gold pickup, and controller support across all platforms.
-
All Content Included: The game includes both the original Diablo II and its Lord of Destruction expansion. This means players have access to all five acts of the campaign, as well as the two expansion classes: the Assassin and the Druid.
-
Cross-Progression: With a linked Battle.net account, players can access their characters and their progress across all supported platforms. For example, you can start a character on PC and continue playing on your Nintendo Switch or PlayStation.
The goal of the remaster was to provide an authentic experience for veteran players while making the game more accessible for a new generation. It has been widely praised for its high-quality visuals and for preserving the classic gameplay that made the original a masterpiece.
