Diablo 2 Resurrected

If you've been watching BlizzConline (or reading about it), you've probably heard mention of cross-progression, a feature you'll find in both Diablo 2: Resurrected and Diablo 4.

Watching the Diablo Q&A at BlizzConline, I was happy to hear Rob Gallerami talk about how multiplayer is going to work in Diablo 2: Resurrected. Although I was a bit disappointed to hear him say that we're not going to get the couch co-op play that Diablo 3 has on consoles, I was heartened to hear that 8-player multiplayer will be available, hearkening back to the way it worked when the game first came out, and it'll be available through Battle.net.

The well-loved Diablo 2 heroes have been modernized with improved art renders shared for BlizzConline.

As part of a Diablo 2 Resurrected group interview, Rob Gallerami and Matthew Cederquist discussed which consoles the game is currently designed for and how it's going to work in terms of playing with controllers.

I was relieved to see that gameplay in Diablo 2: Resurrected is almost completely unchanged.

We've been expecting this one for a while.

To be clear right off the bat, this is just a post of speculation.

Whenever I hear rumors about a Diablo 2 remaster — much less the idea that Blizzard has been hiding it from us and plans to release it late this year — I think about the disastrous path that led to making the game, and how the people who made the game don't think a remaster will ever happen.
