Blizzard and Vicarious Visions are “fully remaking every minute” of Diablo 2’s cinematics, which amounts to roughly 27 minutes of pre-rendered video. Cinematics, however, can’t simply be up-rezzed. And like Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and LucasArts’ Special Editions of Monkey Island 1 and 2, you can press a button to switch back and forth between the original game and the remastered version. Underneath, though, is the original game, at 800圆00 resolution. Cross-progression will be supported on any platforms that choose to enable it, according to Blizzard.
On the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 families of consoles along with the Nintendo Switch, it will run at lower resolutions. PC will also support ultra-wide monitors and gamepads. On PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, the remaster will run at 4K and 60fps. We wanted the game.” Diablo 2 Resurrected has a modern 3D layer on top that features particle-based rendering, dynamic lighting, and, where appropriate, upgraded visuals and sound. And, he was clear, “it’s a remaster, not a remake. “It’s a great time to bring back Diablo 2,” Diablo franchise executive producer Rod Fergusson told IGN, referencing last year’s 20th anniversary of Diablo 2 and this year’s 30th anniversary of Blizzard itself.

We’ll see what else we may see from Diablo before the event is over, but for now, we have some very interesting looking stopgaps before Diablo 4 itself arrives. Blizzard will probably announce it before that happens, and if it’s like the Diablo Immortal alpha, don’t expect your progress to carry over to the final release of the game, so curtail your potential gear farming, lest it be lost to the void. There is also no date for the Technical Alpha yet, so just keep an eye on your email for the indefinite future for when those invites may go out. Diablo 4 is still likely to be a few years away, however, and Blizzard is hoping these interim projects can tide everyone over until that game is released. Between this and the likely release of Diablo Immortal this year, Blizzard will probably be making a ton of money from Diablo-related things that are not Diablo 4, though they did show off a new class, the Rogue, yesterday, a blend of the Amazon, Demon Hunter and Assassin from past games.
