And while it has gotten a visual overhaul and some other quality-of-life improvements, it's a largely faithful remake of a two-decade-old game. For both the die-hards and the newcomers, Diablo 2 Resurrected could be a huge deal if it turns out to be real.Diablo 2: Resurrected is now available on PC and consoles, and it brings the classic action-RPG to modern platforms-the consoles being the most notable of the bunch, given the original was only ever available on PC.

An early multiplayer hit, the original Diablo 2 is widely considered to be one of the best games of all time and still has a dedicated community of players 20 years after its release.

The backlash got so heated that Blizzard began offering no-questions-asked refunds for Warcraft 3: Reforged after it became the lowest rated game ever on Metacritic.Ĭaution is certainly warranted until an official announcement from Blizzard appears, but it’s hard not to get excited about the prospect of a Diablo 2 remaster to make the wait for Diablo 4 more bearable. At release, it was riddled with bugs, missing promised features, and compromised by draconian policies that gave ownership of fan-made maps to Blizzard. Blizzard may be weighing its words carefully, following the response to Warcraft 3: Reforged, which was viewed as a major disappointment. There hasn’t been an official confirmation from Blizzard, and there’s no word on the scope of the remaster.
