The long-rumored remaster of Diablo II was finally announced at this year's BlizzConline in February. What makes this particular remaster more noteworthy than most other reworks is that Diablo II has had a significant impact on the evolution of the modern-day action-RPG, influencing other RPG franchises like Destiny and Borderlands. Seeing the classic game return with a new look and tweaks to its gameplay loop has got many fans of the original interested in what's to come. Yet, there's a clear legacy that Diablo II has established since its release in 2000, which means this remaster must walk a fine line between meaningful update and preservation which is why Diablo II Resurrected is GameSpot’s Next Big Game. Diablo II Resurrected arrives on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch on September 23, 2021.
