With the technical alpha for Diablo II Resurrected finally arriving we compare the new remastered version with the original. In this clip we show off different parts of Act 1 as a Sorceress.
The technical alpha for Diablo 2 Resurrected is available for the few who have access to it via Battle.net on PC. One of its key features is the ability to seamlessly switch between the new overhauled graphics and the original visual style on the fly with a keystroke. In going between the enhanced HD visuals in 16:9 widescreen and the old-school look in 4:3 aspect ratio, you realize how much Diablo 2 has aged, and you can see exactly how in the video above.
Gameplay was captured on PC using the ability to swap visual style in the same instance. You’ll see the redone assets, updated animations, and silky smooth frame rate when using the Resurrected visual mode. But since both versions of the game exist simultaneously, the core gameplay experience remains intact. Other than a revamped user interface and a few quality of life changes, Diablo 2 Resurrected will play exactly as you remember it from all those years ago. It’s evident in the Sorceress gameplay in the video above with all the familiar mechanics and systems that made Diablo 2 a classic RPG.
Diablo 2 Resurrected is scheduled to release sometime in 2021 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch. Blizzard has a beta phase planned before launch as well, so more people will be able to get a chance to try this remaster.

Dont you guys think that $40 is too much for a remake?
Female characters became more fat, why?😔
Is there amazonian trap?
old better
The characters are way to wide in the new version. People are not that wide.
Me no likey. Feels like a cheap Diablo clone.
Rather play the original if there's no actual QoL updates.
Honestly. I couldn't stop staring at the second screen (the left) I'm fucking mind boggled how good this looks. I'll be happy to support it because…..Diablo. LOL !
All the questions… ; Cow level? (And only one legit entry to Cow level?) – Über Diablo event? – Couch play? …at any rate, can't wait to farm SoJ's with a javazon again
I prefer the original death animations for the enemies which still look cool, the remake's death animations look kinda goofy & cartoony in comparison.
Original char better… new 6/10
Ah the good ol days,
when left-click and/or right-click was sufficient depth for entertainment.
Cant wait to see how the ruin this one
there is nothing left of the Blizzards, there is nothing left of the old spirit of the game…, from the amazon made a masculine hero, the image has lost the original femininity, dev freaks, remake = peace of shit, I will not buy and do not advise you
this should have been released when everyone is on lock down.
นักเวทย์สวยๆ รีเมคซะขี้เหร่และแก่ไปเลย
What did they do to the blood from the monsters? Why isn’t it there?
I’m ready to break my arm and mouse by spending hours on this game.
going to play the shit out this HELL will fear me
So wait they can’t show the SORCERESS underb++b anymore and made her fat instead of skinny and now having the AMAZON looking like a 40 year old man instead of a FEMALE Amazon in her early 20’s anymore.
BUT we still can see the Barbarian whole shirtless (no muscles anymore in the remastered version) body still… like WHAT?! 🤦🏾♂️
The characters are not as sexy as the original
FAT ATACK! … And only barb became vegan 🙁
FUCK Censorship
How can i play in mobile phone
Okay. I will jump right in to spot from where I left. Ladder hardcore awaits for great adventures.
The new one doesn't really look much better in my opinion!
Sorc Looks such better in classic, also Amazon is more like a grandmom now
Looks the same to me
coool!
I quite prefer the old lightning effect with the glowing white beam, 'cause it looks cooler & more powerful. Hope they render it in HD, instead of changing how it looks
Portal looks better in classic version.
Classic looks better.
This is not a remake, its a remaster. I hoped it Was a remake with more content
The original Sorceress looks gorgeous, the remake looks, well….. Mama-San??? 😜
Diablo 4 announced
Me: Okay that's cool
Diablo 2 Ressurected announced
I NEED IT RIGHT NOW!
Do you guys not have gaming PC?
The remake adds so much more details. As you can see at 1:45, the Fallen Shaman's fire bolt is much more smaller than Sorceress's Fire Bolt, like a mini version of it. While in the original both Fire Bolts are the same.
All female chars got pepe le pewd
They put more clothes on the Amazon lol
too much baggage
too much baggage
i gotta pawn some of this stuff
Damn the original looks much more detailed for some reason.
Is it me ore does the remake look blurry.
At least Diablo 2 😀 , btw for all the company's out there if in this time you only need money and you can't create another best game out there , if you have a brain down for the last 10 yrs or so… just remake the old gems like Diablo 1/2 , Fallout and so on… if you become a shit . At least the devs from Resident Evil did a wonderful job with the franchise and they didn't let us down. Diablo 1 and 2 was the best game of that year / and the hole planet where waiting for Diablo 3 old players and when they release it was… nea.. i will wait for the remaster :>
I don't know if it's me but sometimes the classic version looks better than the remake… So why they do a remake, when the older version is still better? Is it all about the cashcow?
