Blizzard has revealed the first screenshots for the Diablo 1 “Remake” event that will be coming to Diablo 3 this January. As we can see, this official remake stays true to the game’s original atmosphere thanks to its custom new graphics filters.
In this Remake, players can expect to find 16 levels from the first Diablo game, as well as four main bosses. In addition, character movement will be locked to to eight directions in order to make the game feel as close to the original as possible.
Players will be able to enter the Dungeon via a teleporter in The Old Ruins of Tristram. The Anniversary Dungeon will be included in “The Darkening of Tristram” patch for free. It will be on PTR next week, and live in January.
As we’ve already said, this Remake is basically a limited time event, occurring for the month of January every year.
Enjoy!

remake/remastered do Star Craft 1 too
StarCraft: Mass Recall it’s what you re looking for
Too bright..too many colors..
I dont get why the doors have to glow soo much, i mean it’s pretty obvious a door.
Blizzard could thrown in some comparison shots.
Why draw attention to the fact that it now looks like utter sh*t by comparison? 😛
I HONESTLY think that Blizzard’s getting too much flak cause of this and the Necro pack. ;(
Really? You HONESTLY think Blizzard should be prioritizing a ridiculous remake that nobody ever asked for, & a new, paid content class that nobody was even expecting by this point, BEFORE they even take the time to (re-)fix the broken issues that are currently plaguing the game as a result of their ridiculous actions in the last few patches?
No, like i wrote:

Oh.
Yeah, my bad, I missed the wink.
It looks like they switched to the cartoon look of D3. That’s a real bummer
They can only make cartoonish games nowadays.
Remastered > Remake
On a quality level it looks like the Final Fantasy VII on PC…I was expecting an actual 3D render of the static bgs…it seems what people call a remake these days fluctuates a lot.
You are too late to save the child! Now you’ll join him — in Hell!
Why make it limited to just January seems pointless and completely unnecessary.
Indeed. It’s not like Diablo has a subscription system, after all, & it’s not a one-time event either, so…….? >.>
Then again, as I always say; Blizzard =/= Logic.
Looks like SHlT. It’s Diablo 3, desaturated and covered in “retro” filters.
Good thing it’s going to be a free patch, because the vast majority of what I’m seeing are assets that were used plenty in D3 itself.
I’ll have to see videos before I can make up my mind. I can’t tell tell from these images if it will scratch my Diablo 1 aesthetic itch.
i want this.
I like it, and plus its free.
i play diablo 3 on ps3 as ABATNT420

I think I would’ve been more satisfied with a D1 patch that allows the game to be run on 64-bit systems.
