Diablo II: Resurrected™ is coming soon, a definitive remastering of Diablo II alongside its Lord of Destruction® expansion! On September 23, veteran and new players alike can save Sanctuary from the Burning Hells on Windows® PC, and for the first time on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and Nintendo Switch™.
Experience the timeless classic, now with high-resolution visuals (with support for up to 4K resolution) and remastered 7.1 Dolby Surround audio bringing the world of Sanctuary to life in a whole new way. Prepare to witness the original game’s cinematics, 27-minutes of epic storytelling, faithfully recreated to capture the dark ambiance so fondly remembered.
While Diablo II: Resurrected takes full advantage of today’s modern gaming hardware, it preserves the engaging hack-and-slash gameplay that is as engrossing today as it was twenty years ago—but with a handful of quality-of-life changes, such as a larger stash for players to store more of their loot and automatic gold pickup for ease. Above all else, Diablo II: Resurrected remains true to the original, and with a touch of a button, players can transport themselves into the nostalgic past, playing the game in the original 800x600 experience.
Players who wish to get their hands on the game will soon have a chance to do so. The Diablo II: Resurrected multiplayer open beta will kick-off in August and will feature five of the final game’s seven highly customizable character classes for players to choose from—the Amazon, Barbarian, Paladin, and Sorceress from the core game, as well as the Druid from the included Lord of Destruction expansion. The Necromancer and Assassin will be available when the game officially launches on September 23. Players who preorder the game will also gain early access to the open beta test taking place in August on supporting platforms.
Since our announcement, the community’s enthusiasm and support has been staggering. We can’t wait to begin this adventure and share more details with you on our upcoming beta test.

I am so ready for this!
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOooooooo!
I AM SO FUCKNG PUMPED OMFG
I didn't realize they were actually redoing all of the cinematics too??!
And I'm very grateful they ended up going with gold auto pickup
I was genuinely surprised, I did not expect to get a release date announcement before the end of the month, let alone an actual September release.
I was legitimately shocked to get an announcement during the Xbox / Bethesda press conference, but I'm just glad I was watching at the time.
I’ve been playing D2 since launch and for me this game seems to be one of, if not THE best game of all time. I keep trying to find other games that can match it, but it seems like no other game compares to D2s loot system, monster system, difficulty, build diversity or just repeatable fun. I always get bored with newer games and go right back to D2. So D2R damn near brought a tear to my eye when it was announced. Couldn't be more excited. Literally feel like a kid on Christmas hearing this news!
This is around the time Lost Ark is coming out... Man please don't overlap these releases
