In a recent Twitter thread, the official Diablo account launched a series of tweets outlining the main attributes of upcoming remaster, Diablo II Resurrected. Each mini-announcement was accompanied by a video that explained the update in further detail alongside concept art and design mock-ups.
The nightmares have just subsided, but Diablo II has been resurrected. By the scrolls, it is born.

The thread confirmed that both the graphics and audio would be remastered and updated, and that the Lord Of Destruction DLC would be included in the main game.
Diablo II Resurrected will also feature cross-progression, meaning fans can transfer their save file between console and PC with ease. Quality of Life improvements will also come as standard, such as a shared stash, updated UI, and automatic gold pickup.

The thread ended asking fans to sign up for the Diablo II Technical Alpha build, writing: “we will need all hands to make sure the battle against Diablo goes well”.
Join me on my quest to yet again save Sanctuary from the demonic forces that wish to rule it. I urge you, sign up for the Technical Alpha. We will need all hands to make sure the battle against Diablo goes well.
