While fans have been expecting the highly anticipated Diablo 2: Resurrected to come sometime this year, it may be coming sooner than expected. During the Xbox showcase, it was revealed that Diablo 2: Resurrected will be coming at the tail end of summer.
Diablo 2: Resurrected invites fans to relive the Diablo 2 with classic, untouched gameplay and story, but with updated, modern visuals. As Diablo 2 is one of the most popular titles of all time, cracked versions of Diablo 2 Resurrected hit the internet following the alpha, but many have patiently waited for the true experience. Now, a date has officially been given for the release, September 23.
The street date trailer also serves to remind fans exactly why they should be excited. It’s a tried-and-true experienced that can only be enhanced by next-gen capabilities, and while Diablo 2: Resurrected will be polished for the modern gamer—with 4K graphics, 7.1 Dolby Surround, and entirely redone cinematics—it will likely act as a reminder of a more hardcore gaming era. For those wanting to truly slot themselves back into the good old days, Diablo 2: Resurrected will also allow players to swap between the new graphics and the original 800x600 resolution with ease.
With only a few months left before the game releases, it’s time for gamers to start thinking about their class choices. Since Diablo 2: Resurrected will release with both the original game and the expansion’s content, both the Druid and the Assassin will be options at launch, but a case can still be made for players to jump in and play classics like the Barbarian. For gamers that want to enjoy Diablo 2: Resurrected on multiple platforms, the game will feature cross-progression, meaning that any progress made on one system will transfer to another.
Diablo 2 Resurrected will be available September 23, 2021 for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
