Unfortunately, this leads to Diablo now possessing the hero’s body.

Who better to bear this last burden than the hero himself? He takes the soulstone out of Diablo’s forehead and attaches it to his own head. After finally defeating the Lord of Terror, one last task was required: sealing Diablo’s soul. The story of Diablo 2 Resurrected occurs right after the events of the original Diablo. Instead, what we have here is mostly the same game but with a new coat of paint and some minor QoL features to make it more enjoyable and accessible. This remake is an unusual one as it doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel like so many remakes tend to do. The sound was remastered to fit current technology although it remains mostly the same. The graphics received a major overhaul and are now entirely in 3D. Gameplay purists need not worry as only the technical aspects of the game were remade. Diablo 2 Resurrected is a remake of the original Diablo 2 with the “Lord of Destruction” expansion already included. It features cross-play between all the platforms, that means you can play on PC for example and later continue your progress on any other platform if you wish. That was until now, as Diablo 2 Resurrected has versions for every modern console available alongside the PC version. Diablo 2 is the only main iteration of the series that doesn’t have a console version. The “Lord of Destruction” expansion launched in the following year. Diablo 2 was released three years later, in 2000. The first Diablo title was released for PC in 1997.
