A few days ago, Blizzard revealed the official remaster/remake of Diablo 2. And yesterday, YouTube’s Candyland has shared a comparison video between the original and the upcoming remake/remaster of Diablo 2. This video shows how close to the original game Diablo 2 Resurrected will be.
Now I used the term “remake” here is Diablo 2 Resurrected will be using a new 3D graphics engine. Blizzard has created new 3D models for all sprites. Not only that, but the team has implemented a new dynamic lighting system. Thankfully, gamers will be able to switch between the original/vanilla 2D and the new 3D graphics.
Diablo 2 Resurrected seems identical to the original game. It will have the same dark style, although the original feels a bit brighter. Still, this upcoming remaster/remake looks great, even in its pre-alpha state.
Blizzard plans to release this game later this year. You can also find here its official PC system requirements.
Enjoy!

I don’t like it.
I am shocked and amazed.
animations are trash and it doesn’t feel the same. cry all you want.
I’ve played this game for over 20 years and I like what I see, cry all you want.
The Resurrected needs a reshade!
Got say I think D2 remake looks way better than D4, personally I am juiced to play it again.
Pretty awesome that they did a full on 3D remake in their new game engine yet it’s still the OG game and they actually added an offline mode which is really rare for them now a days(which is sad).
Will see what happens, seems positive right now. The lighting, FX and screens look really nice and most importantly it still feels like D2. I just hope the Necromancers skill has more blood and chunks when you summon your skeleton mobs for it looked cut back but I know it is still a WIP.
If all else fails We have POE2 and Last Epoch.
Can’t wait for this. Javazon ou nova sorc … my childhood is back ! 😉
Nice, same Man! Good combos both classes where rad, My main was the Necromancer and what I will be playing first and then probably I will roll a Druid next.
I love the new Sorc, She looks awesome and I bet the new lighting and particles are going to look insane when you run Her.
Good times, it be crazy if it came out in say April or June(fingers crossed).
You and me bro, fingers crossed 🙂
Negativity at its finest.
Accuracy at its finest. I’ll admit the environments and FX look slick, but the lighting appears to be WAY too dark for outdoors in the middle of a desert, and most of the hero models look like they were made by some high school student studying 3d modelling for the first time. I’ve seen private modders do a better job.
Worse, they deliberately held this game back from the blizzard app, despite D1 and starcraft and all being on there. So if you have a legal copy of the original, it is little more than a paperweight on with modern OSes and no support. I’ll just stick with project D2, who took the time to make the original work and make it better, and leave this cash grab on the landfill where it belongs.
Black Paladin #BLM again wins.
Amazonian character looks like trans eww, but what to expect from company that has logo in rainbow colors
You do know that the original paladin in D2 was black, right? BLM didn’t exist 20+ years ago. Agree about the character designs suckiing though, if not for the same reasons as you. Most look like a high schooler made them. The zon, assassin and sorc are just plain fugly now, the barb lost half his muscle and looks more like a 40 something beer guzzler clinging to his memories of football in highschool. The necro looks like he has given up on life, instead of being a master of it. And the druid looks like a hobo. As for the pally, he looks like the dude from SNL cosplaying.
It’s a remaster, it looks like a remaster it plays like a remaster the studio that works on it says it’s a remaster.
Yeah, we can clearly see the differences, at least!
This remaster needs 16GB ram ? i mean, this needs 16gb of Ram ?
Disappointed.
The face-lift doesn’t feel necessary after all, and the original game looks perfectly fine even 20 years later.
The ONLY good thing is that it’ll be easy (normally) to run on modern computers.
Personally, I’ve had countless problems running the original Diablo 2 on my PC…
Come on guys, this is a joke! Is this how they are going to compete with PoE? especially if you compare the game mechanics of the two. One has been in development for a decade now, the other is D2. Which I like don’t get me wrong, but there is no selling point at all for D2.
