For the rest of Diablo Gold the first game's fanbase, however, this might be amazing news: players like me spent large amounts of time grinding Diablo II's bosses and levels to dust looking for particular items, not to mention selling them on the internet and trading them inside a game that was not really designed for that type of thing. (One special rare thing, the Stone of Jordan, was actually used as a makeshift form of currency.)

Now, all of that advancement is technically yours instead of having to start from scratch, and it might even be mobile, also: theoretically, the game's cross-save abilities across PC and games imply you may even load up your OG save to a Nintendo Switch.

The tagline was inevitable: Blizzard's taking us back to hell. Diablo 2: Resurrected is a remaster of the classic action RPG and its expansion Lord of Destruction, with fresh 3D images and completely recreated cinematics. "Diablo 2 is a very important game to Blizzard," said Diablo chief Rod Fergusson. "It helped define the ARPG genre. This was the 20th anniversary of this game last year, Blizzard's 30th anniversary today, and as we're getting ready for Diablo Immortal and Diablo 4. It seems like a great moment to make this game back."

Beneath the new images, which encourage 4K and high refresh rates like 144 Hz, this is almost precisely the exact same Diablo 2 it's always been. The sound has been remastered for Dolby 7.1, but it is still using the very same records from the first game. Blizzard has made a few new quality of lifestyle additions, such as a shared thing stash for many of your personalities to pull out from and auto-looting. But Fergusson stressed that its additions in Diablo 2: Resurrected are optional toggles--in case you still want to pick up gold and loot manually, you definitely can.

Diablo 2: Resurrected is coming to PC and consoles in 2021, with cross-platform progress (TBD on which consoles, precisely, which includes). Eager helldivers are going to be able to register for Cheap Diablo 2 Items a specialized alpha prior launch. Blizzard told us it will cost $39.99 on PC.
