Diablo 2 Resurrected ups the graphical ante considerably, and as we've seen, it will update the visuals using a fresh coat of paint and permit the resolution to be cranked up Diablo 2 Items to 4K while encouraging refresh speeds of up to 144Hz.

There will, however, be a classic mode which reverts to the look of the original sprite-based (2D) match, in the event you wish to go that route. In addition to the beefed-up visuals, Blizzard is providing Dolby 7.1 surround on the audio side with remastered and re-recorded sound effects.

That's great to listen to, naturally. We don't know when this will take place, as Blizzard has yet to confirm a launch date for Diablo 2 Resurrected -- but we do know it will be coming at some point in 2021.

Meanwhile, there is public alpha testing at the nearer future, and we could keep our fingers crossed this remaster doesn't make any of the same errors as Warcraft III.Blizzard vows not to Substitute Diablo 2 with Diablo 2: Resurrected

In a video Q&A below, chief designer Rob Gallerani said"no, certainly not" in response to the query:"will D2:R overwrite an original D2 installation?"

"Everything you have about D2 currently will remain D2. This is a separate solution, separate game. You are able to Buy Diablo 2 Resurrected Items play 'em both at the exact same time if you want."
