While this report is still really just a rumor at this stage, it’ll be interesting to see if Diablo 2 appears at Blizzcon 2020 (if that event still happens at all). It’s long been rumored that Blizzard intended to release a remaster or remake of Diablo 2, but we’re a bit surprised to hear that it could still be released later this year given the spread of the coronavirus and how that has seemingly impacted the studio’s development schedules and release timelines. The remaster of the classic game will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5. The legacy of Diablo 2 looms large over the action-RPG genre, and to be honest, you could download the original version of the game today and rarely feel like you’re playing a title that’s “dated” in any significant ways besides the visuals. Diablo 2: Resurrected is just a few months away, Blizzard announced at Xbox’s E3 2021 livestream. Not only was Diablo 3 initially criticized by some for abandoning some of the thematic and gameplay concepts that set Diablo 2 apart, but Blizzard has already confirmed that Diablo 4 will resurrect Diablo 2‘s darker tones. Blizzard hasn’t announced a specific release date for Diablo 2: Resurrected, but the game is coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Activision Blizzard is releasing the remaster of its two decades old classic next month, and players can get a taste of whats in store with the open beta prior to the September 23 launch date. Of course, part of the appeal of Diablo 2 is the fact that its gameplay has aged remarkably well throughout the years. The Diablo 2: Resurrected open beta kicks off this weekend, and heres everything you need to know ahead of it going live.
