In addition to the content framework of Diablo 2, the technical renovations are particularly interesting:

• The 2D graphics are rendered in 3D, which enables modern effects such as dynamic shadows.
• A resolution of up to 4K is possible.
• In terms of sound, it goes just as jumpy: Dolby 7.1 systems are supported.
• All cutscenes have been newly produced.
• Gold is automatically collected, it is no longer necessary to click.
• There is a loot chest for all your characters.
• Also the contents of the Lord of Destruction expansion are included, the game will thus consist of five acts.
• An interesting feature is also that you can switch between the original and the remake at any time.

For younger players who didn't know the old Diablo 2, it could be a compelling entry into the world of the Diablo franchise.At BlizzConline 2021, Blizzard announced that Diablo 2 Resurrected would still be released in 2021, but didn't give a specific date. In addition to the original platform, the PC, versions will also be available for the PlayStation 4 and 5, the Xbox One and Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch.
