The street date trailer also serves to remind fans exactly why they should be excited. It’s a tried-and-true experienced that can only be enhanced by next-gen capabilities, and whileDiablo 2: Resurrectedwill be polished for the modern gamer—with 4K graphics, 7.1 Dolby Surround, and entirely redone cinematics—it will likely act as a reminder ofa more hardcore gaming era. For those wanting to truly slot themselves back into the good old days,Diablo 2: Resurrectedwill also allow players to swap between the new graphics and the original 800x600 resolution with ease.
With only a few months left before the game releases, it’s time for gamers to start thinking about their class choices. SinceDiablo 2: Resurrectedwill release with both the original game and the expansion’s content, both the Druid and the Assassin will be options at launch, but a case can still be made for players to jump in andplay classics like the Barbarian. For gamers that want to enjoyDiablo 2: Resurrectedon multiple platforms, the game will feature cross-progression, meaning that any progress made on one system will transfer to another.
The multiplayer open beta is also slated for later this summer in August. During the beta, which will be coming to all supported systems, players will be able to jump in and get their hands on nearly all of the classes including the Amazon, Barbarian, Paladin, Sorceress, and also the Druid. However, like theDiablo 2: Resurrectedalpha test, the Necromancer and Assassin will not feature in the beta. This will be the final chance before the launch for players to jump in and generate feedback for the developers. Of course, all of the beloved classes fromDiablo 2will feature at launch, which, just to reiterate, is only about 100 days away.
Diablo 2 Resurrectedwill be available July 18, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
