The long-rumored remaster of Diablo II was finally announced at this year's BlizzConline. What makes this particular remaster more noteworthy than most other reworks is that Diablo II has had a significant impact on the evolution of the modern-day action-RPG, influencing other RPG franchises like Destiny and Borderlands. Seeing the classic game return with a new look and tweaks to its gameplay loop has got many fans of the original interested in what's to come. Yet, there's a clear legacy that Diablo II has established since its release in 2000, which means this remaster must walk a fine line between meaningful update and preservation.

Now that the dust has settled, we're here to offer a refresher on all the details we know about Diablo II: Resurrected. During BlizzConline, we had the chance to talk with the game's developers about how the team approached making this remaster. In addition to the new look, Resurrected will add deeper online-functionality and a round of quality-of-life changes that improve the game while retaining what makes the original as it was. According to Blizzard, Diablo II: Resurrected will still be the game that fans have come to enjoy more than twenty years since its release.
