Thanks to the hefty amount of assets still available from the original release, the game will be mostly unchanged. It’s hard to believe the game I’ve played for over half my life is making a comeback. When I met my partner of over 10 years, our first date was a weekend playing Diablo II on the two computers in his apartment.
It was the first computer role-playing game I ever played, the one game I always made sure I had a copy of no matter how crappy my computer. The remaster has indeed been announced, though, instantly bringing to mind the untold hundreds of hours I devoted to the original. Of all the game release rumors floating around out there, one of the ones I was least likely to believe were those of an upcoming remaster for Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.
