Can’t wait for Diablo 4? You might get a Diablo 2 HD remaster first
Diablo 4 is coming, but we know it’s going to be some time before it lands on PC and consoles – but could we get a Diablo 2 remaster in the meantime?
That’s the latest rumor coming out of the crypts at Diablo developer Blizzard. According to Actugaming, the classic click-to-kill action RPG is going to get a remaster, called Diablo 2: Resurrected, before 2020 rolls into 2021.
The remake is reportedly being made by Vicarious Visions, a studio which sits under the Activision Blizzard umbrella, and which cut its teeth on tons of handheld ports, as well as more recently working on Destiny 2 and the Crash Bandicoot HD remakes.

Diablo 2, remade right, could garner the company a lot of goodwill before the release of Diablo 4.
