Available today, Diablo II: Resurrected is the definitive remaster of Diablo II and its Lord of Destruction expansion. The genre-defining action-RPG has been faithfully modernized to be more stunning, more accessible, and more fun than ever before.
Designed to take full advantage of today’s modern gaming hardware, Diablo II: Resurrected supports up to 4K resolution* displays. It also includes fully remastered 7.1 Dolby Surround audio* so players won’t miss a single bloodcurdling scream. All 27 minutes of the original game’s cinematics are also re-shot with stunning high-fidelity visuals. While considerable work went into bringing Diablo II into the modern era, preserving the authenticity of the experience was paramount—the original game engine is still running “under the hood,” performing the same calculations and game logic as it did back in the year 2000.
“Diablo II: Resurrected will introduce one of our most beloved games to all-new audiences,” “It was an honor for Vicarious Visions to join Blizzard and form the team that brought this classic back to life. Everyone involved was driven by a commitment to do right by the players, and I’m hugely proud of what they’ve accomplished.”
Jen Oneal – Co-leader of Blizzard Entertainment
Developed by Blizzard Entertainment and in-house studio Vicarious Visions, Diablo II: Resurrected is reborn on Windows PC via Battle.net, and on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and the Nintendo Switch system. With cross-progression, players can log into their Battle.net account anywhere they have purchased the game for access to their characters and loot, this remaster also includes a wide array of accessibility and quality-of-life options. They allow players to fine-tune their experience without ever compromising its classic gameplay. These accessibility-focused improvements include:
- Auto-gold pickup and an ‘Auto-fill Belt from inventory’ hotkey
- Emote wheel for faster communication
- Togglable subtitles, including NPC greeting subtitles
- Larger font sizes, colourblind modes, and readability options
- Customizable map opacity
- Volume adjustment across a multitude of audio channels
- Extensive key binding options, including new bindable skills like ‘Interact’ and the ability to swap left and right-stick functionality for controllers
- Cursor sensitivity settings for controllers
- Auto-sort inventory with controllers
- ‘Hold to attack’ and item-name toggling to reduce the number of repetitive clicks or button presses
The seven iconic playable character classes; The Amazon, Barbarian, Necromancer, Paladin, and Sorceress each offer rich and varied gameplay. The Druid and Assassin from Lord of Destruction also return, as ferocious and elusive as ever. The new 3D heroes have updated armour, clothing, skin textures, animations, and more. The entirety of the game has received a massive graphical overhaul, so returning Diablo II veterans taking a fresh look at Sanctuary will find never-before-seen detail, like looking through prescription glasses for the first time. Though updated, the characters, monsters, and environments in Diablo II: Resurrected still capture the dark ambience that Diablo fans remember. Reliving those memories is a cinch, too. Swapping between the modern 3D graphics and the original 2D experience only takes the push of a button.
