Diablo 2: Resurrected Announced for PC and Consoles, Diablo 4 Gets New 'Rogue' Class

@Tea Thanks!

Don't know why they have to be so coy sometimes, they just need to say yes or no. So those of us who want to organise our own imports can do so.

At least I'll be able to get Atelier 2 and Judgement if they decide not to stock the game.

That would be cool too! I have this urge to replay the trilogy every now and then, but my pile of shame prevents me

YES! HZD2 and GOW
Elder Rings would be nice!
I know some PC Ports are on the way but more new things would be nice. Wish some old IP"s could come back to life. I would pay for new Parasite Eve and Legend of Dragoon... but alas...

YES! Really looking forward to the State of Play. Thinking of getting some Bloodborne Co-Op done to help some new players while we wait for the Show....

Any wishes for the new State of Play for you?

Diablo 2: Resurrected Announced for PC and Consoles, Diablo 4 Gets New 'Rogue' Class

by Sam Aberdeen on 20 February, 2021

At the recent BlizzConline 2021 event which kicked off yesterday, Blizzard Entertainment revealed a couple of surprises for Diablo fans - and thankfully, it had nothing to do with mobile. Instead, Blizzard unveiled a new trailer for Diablo 4, and alongside that, the reveal of Diablo 2: Resurrected, a remaster of the iconic Diablo 2, for PC and consoles. Resurrected will remaster - but by the looks of it, it's definitely more of a remake - all the content from the original, while keeping the game's superb atmosphere and deep mechanics.

Diablo 2: Resurrected brings both Diablo 2 and The Lords of Destruction expansion fully remastered to modern platforms in 4K/144Hz. As for exactly what platforms it will be released on, in addition to PC it will arrive on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch (that last one caught us off-guard too). This remaster will also support cross-progression, so you'll be carry over your progress from PC to consoles. Blizzard didn't go into too many details about the project, but stated that they're doing their best to remain faithful to the original's vision. Check out the trailer below:

If you feel like you're overwhelmed by the upgraded visuals, Blizzard assured that you'll be able to switch to classic mode that uses the original's sprite-based textures and models. Then again, it looks like Blizzard have done quite an astounding job with this remaster, and we won't have to wait long to play it since it launches sometime in 2021.

Meanwhile, Diablo 4 also received a new trailer showing off a new class called Rogue, which seems to combine both ranged and melee attacks with plenty of speed and agility. It's the perfect class if you're going for a more traditional hack-and-slash gameplay style.

Diablo 2: Resurrected releases in 2021 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. Diablo 4 is still without a release date.

Really hoping you can couch co-op this on Console... or, dare I hope, PC

Damn, I am psyched for both of these! My endearing memory of Diablo 2 is too many late-night LAN sessions with a necromancer that felt increasingly useless compared to the barbarian and wizard classes. I hope there'll at least be an option for respeccing to some degree and some balance checks on consoles.
