Announcement Diablo II: Resurrected Alpha Opt In

[JSimenhoff]

In case you missed it Blizzard kicked off Blizzcon 2021 with a Diablo 2 Remastered announcement. We wrote about that here.

There's also tech alpha opt in on Blizzard's Diablo 2 website. It doesn't guarantee early access, but if you do want to play Diablo 2 Resurrected this is your best chance.

I'm super stoked for this remaster. First Mass Effect and now this? What a great time to be a millennial gamer. I hope the younger audiences enjoy our mainstay classics.

Are you looking forward to Diablo 2: Resurrected?

Looking forward to it? I WANT IT NA-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I practically grew up on Diablo II and it's expansion. Took me two days to finish the expansion once I knew which skill sets to have(yes I died many times to figure out which boss had which weakness and during a time when the internet was really slow).

I am excited, 40 bucks is about as much as i would pay tho the 60 dollar version does include diablo 3 and everything with that so i might opt for that one.

Me too dude! We should definitely try to get a game together if we can line up the timezones.

I'm ready to ruin my sleep cycle for a team up on them prime evils and their ilk!

I really hope that Diablo 2 Resurrected won't share the fate of Warcraft 3 Reforged. Blizzard promised a lot and it would be good to fulfill those promises. The game looks great at this point.

Not even a little. I tried Diablo 2 out back in the day and got bored with the combat pretty fast.

It's a good year to be an old gamer! My 2 most anticipated games this year (outside of Elex 2 which hasn't been announced yet), are the ME Trilogy Remastered, and now Diablo 2 Remastered.

I've never been very good at ARPG's, but there was just something, a mood or something, with D2 that just sucked me in. I couldn't stop playing. The loot, the pacing, the tension when entering a dungeon, not knowing if you were going to be bull-rushed immediately, or had time to find a doorway you could defend. Several hundred hours of my life in that game.

*Raises the Grandfather again* Slaaaammiiiiiiiing!

Which translates into and answers your question with an absolute YES!

I grew up with Diablo and Diablo 2. D3 was a huge disappointment for me so I am absolutely pumped for this. Can't wait to kick Rakanishu's arse again.

I just have to decide whether its going to be a Necromancer or Paladin for the first playthrough..... Oh or Druid! Or Sorceress!

Great news. So far, this is the only thing that pleased me after BlizzConline

 

[Rensje]

I've been waiting for an announcement like this for years! Never did I imagine the overhaul would be this dramatic and yet so faithful. I'm happy to hear that console support is planned and that there will be cross-progression. I can see myself playing this on Switch on the go and then continuing on the PC when I'm home!

It just looks so good.. I can't believe some of the original assets are actually still being used for this!

 

[Alm]

Looks really good. I haven't played it yet but if it's like Diablo 3 with gritty visuals I'm down.

 

[Kotter]

can't wait to farm Pindleskin!

 

[90basil]

can't wait to farm Pindleskin!

For some reason it's him that everyone misses

Same here. I never played D3, so I might decide to buy the whole package. It's a better price than buying those two games separately.

Diablo 2 Resurrected

We finally have the "remake" of the game. Honestly from what I've seen on Blizzcon it makes me very happy and hopeful that the game will be done properly as Vicarious Visions are managing the project itself. Most importantly the core game will stay the same, rules, movement, environment, loot...
