Blizzard wasn't kidding when it advised Polygon the new remastered Diablo II will be loyal to the original. You will even have the ability to pick up where you left off with your 20-year-old savegames. "Yes! Yes, keep those" Producer Matthew Cederquist told journalists, saying that the team called it"the best feature ever."
As a lapsed player myself, the very idea is giving me chills -- dangerous ones, ones that I imagine are akin to that which Gollum felt in The Lord of the Rings when he made a decision to pull The 1 Ring off his brother's throttled corpse. I thought I could safely leave this game behind, but no. It appears I might need to track down an old friend shortly.
For the rest of the original game's fanbase, though, this may be incredible news: gamers like me spent large amounts of time grinding Diablo II's supervisors and levels to dust looking for particular items, and of course selling them on the internet and trading them inside a game that was not really designed for this sort of thing. (One particular rare thing, the Stone of Jordan, was actually used as a makeshift type of money.)
Now, all of that progress is theoretically yours instead of having to start from scratch, and it could even be mobile, too: the game's cross-save capabilities across PC and console mean you could even load your OG save on a Nintendo Switch. Diablo 2: Resurrected is a remaster of the classic action RPG and its expansion Lord of Destruction, with new 3D graphics and fully recreated cinematics.
"Diablo 2 is a very important game to Blizzard," said Diablo main Rod Fergusson. "It helped specify the ARPG genre. This was the 20th anniversary of this game last year, Blizzard's 30th anniversary now, and as we're getting ready for Diablo Immortal and Diablo 4. It feels like a fantastic moment to make back this game."
