These new graphics are going to Diablo 2 Resurrected Items have the ability to display up to 4K resolution on consoles and 8K on PCs. However, players trying to experience that pixelated 2D aesthetic (no ruling. I recently rediscovered 1999's Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation) may also toggle back to the first using an easy push of a button. The remastered version will even encourage 7.1 Dolby Surround audio.

And as the developers were determined to keep Diablo II's gameplay, they turned their attention to creating quality-of-life updates throughout. These include shared stash (which features in Diablo III) meaning that players no longer need to create a mule character to discuss items between their personalities. The newest version also lets players automatically pick up gold, change font sizes, and gives them more volume controls.

Fans are also happy to hear Resurrected will allow cross-progression, meaning that players can play exactly the same saved game over various platforms. So you can start a match on your computer and continue playing later in your console. Significantly however, cross-play -- wherein numerous players on various platforms play the identical game -- hasn't been allowed this time round.

There is more great news for players who were wise enough to keep their stored files from the original game: Resurrected can let you import your saved games. So all the progress made when you played with the first time around can be carried over and you should not go back to the beginning and start all over again. Woohoo!

In 2021. That is all Blizzard has stated so far about the anticipated release date for Diablo II: Resurrected. But given that all we know about the release date for Diablo IV is it will be outside on a day in a year that hopefully falls within this decade, I'm delighted to know I just have to mark my calendar until 31 December 2021 for Resurrected*. Unless, of course, Blizzard announces a delay. In which case I'll rant endlessly on social networking and to buy Diablo 4 Gold my mom. Diablo II: Resurrected and its expansion Lord of Destruction will retail for US$39.99 -- R605.97 at current exchange rates -- on PC.
