Unlike last year's ill-received Warcraft 3 remaster, Resurrected doesn't forcibly upgrade or replace ye olde Diablo II. The game's coming to Xboxes, PlayStations, and Switch too. What a weird prank! No way.ĭiablo 2: Resurrected is due to launch next Thursday, the 23rd of September. I don't know why Blizzard's YouTube channel has a video which pretends to be the original Diablo 2 intro cinematic but surely wasn't. Except it is! And Resurrected will remind you of this, because if you tap G it will instantly switch back to the old look.' What's the big deal? Could just play the old one still if y'ask me.' Time makes fools of us all, and I didn't remember old Diablo II looking substantially different. She said, 'even as I was playing I was like, 'Ehhh, doesn't look that different. Our Alice Bee played the recent open beta and she too questioned her memory, at first. And yeah, this is how I remember D2 cutscenes looking? They were dead fancy and high-tech, yeah? Must have looked like this? Blizzard and Vicarious Visions have managed that with Diablo 2: Resurrected, from what I've seen, and a new trailer focuses on the redone cutscenes.

I appreciate when a remaster of an old game looks like my memories of the original, a rose-tinted vision which would crumble if I looked at even one screenshot.
