While Actugaming has been fairly spot-on with its previous Blizzard-centric leaks, it's best if we take this one with a grain of salt. The game is expected to drop sometime in Q4 2020, and will likely be unveiled at Blizzcon later in the year. All the heavy lifting, however, will be done by Vicarious Visions of the Crash Bandicoot fame. Now, some rumors from a French website indicate that the game is all set to receive a much-needed makeover.Īctugaming claims that it received a tip from a 'reliable source,' which states that a Diablo 2 Remaster is in the works and slated to drop later this year. The game has high replayability value even twenty years after its release.

While there is nothing inherently wrong with Diablo 3, it requires an active connection at all times, much to the dismay of those who want to play offline. It should make replays a little more fun, and hardcore players will appreciate the more responsive animations of the modern visual style.It'll be a long time before Diablo 4 becomes a reality, so fans have to satiate their hunger with older titles. It’s perfect for nostalgia and function, as I had a good deal of fun playing one class entirely on retro mode, and another in just modern mode. It happens instantly, and you can even adjust the resolution for it slightly on consoles via a menu option. Unlike some other re-releases, Resurrected is wholly justified, because Diablo II‘s legacy has lived on for all this time through hardcore fans and the modding community.Īgain, it’s important to remember that this preserves the original game, as you can swap the style between “retro” and modern with a quick tap (on PS5 it’s L2+the TouchPad). It’s a large array of playstyles in all, in tandem with the aforementioned triple ability tree system. For this review, I tested a few classes, most notably ice sorceress and elemental druid (you can also choose amazon, necromancer, barbarian, paladin, or assassin). The depth of Diablo II is very much alive and well, as is the sense of experimentation of taking a character for a spin.
