Diablo 2 Resurrected

Let's compare the not yet released Diablo 2: Resurrected with last year's Warcraft 3 Reforged -- why is the latter game seen as less than a successful remaster while the former has everyone abuzz with excitement?

The Burning Crusade Classic beta has been up for a couple weeks now, and the Diablo 2: Resurrected technical alpha is starting this weekend.

We know that Diablo 2: Resurrected is getting a tech alpha soon, where testers will get to play it, stream it, and talk about it.

Exploding waves of demons.

Unlike the original, Diablo 2: Resurrected is going to be playable on a number of platforms, including Windows PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch.

At the Diablo Q&A at BlizzConline, Diablo 2 Resurrected's Rob Gallerami made it clear that the original in-game cinematics from Diablo 2 will be completely redone, in a shot-for-shot remake to bring these cinematics up to the standards of modern Blizzard games.

We have Diablo 2 Resurrected, Diablo Immortal, and Diablo 4 all in development while Diablo 3 is still in active production with Seasonal play an ongoing endeavor.

Diablo 2 Resurrected is upon us.

BlizzConline was not exactly like your usual BlizzCon, but despite being a completely online event with no audience presence, it was still chock-full of juicy new information for most major Blizzard franchises -- and even some unexpected minor ones.

The announcement of a Diablo 2 remaster was one of the high points of this year's BlizzConline, and eager fans have had lots of questions.
