Compatible old save file featureĪpart from the five aspects above, there is one excellent feature that is presented in the remastered edition, Vicigers! Yep, the developer has provided it with a file compatibility feature which makes the save file from the original Diablo 2 accessible again in the remastered edition!Īccording to interviews conducted with the developers, they buried this feature so that older players could reminisce – continuing their last adventure at Santuary.īut keep in mind, this file transfer only applies to the PC platform only. This game also has extra content and new game modes that were not present in the original version. Diablo 2: Resurrected also has the same gameplay, but with improvements in terms of difficulty and balance between characters and enemies (frequent updates and balancing). In the meantime, though, sign up for the alpha test and don’t get scammed.The original edition has an interesting and challenging gameplay, with lots of levels and bosses to beat. “This is .”ĭoes… does that mean what I think it means?ĭiablo 2: Resurrected is out this year on PC and consoles, but Blizzard hasn’t announced a date yet. “We’re not reverse-engineering it we’re not rebuilding it and trying to make it look and sound like ,” franchise producer Rod Fergusson tells Polygon. Talking to IGN Middle East, project producer Matthew Cederquist explains that this was almost by accident.īack when we were working on, we wondered if the old save files would work and we kind of shoved it in and it worked! And we were like, ‘okay, that’s the best feature ever’.īut not actually by accident, because Diablo 2: Resurrected isn’t a remake – it’s the same game with a new paint job, and even features a visual control to swap between the 20 versions. I’m sorry.įor those of you who are more responsible than me, though, Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 2: Resurrected supports original game save imports.

Not even for-reals necromancy can save you now, Mr Bones. And I was about to celebrate until I remembered that my original game save was 20 years, five or six different PCs, and a lot of, uh, character file “improvisation” ago, so I can’t.
