Who's Behind This Remaster?

The remaster of Diablo II is coming out of Diablo 2 Items both Blizzard Entertainment and developer Vicarious Visions. The latter worked on the Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy remaster and 2020's Tony Hawk: Pro Skater 1+2, the studio has quite the pedigree when it comes to upgrading classic games.

"Diablo II has never been on consoles, so there were lots of interesting takes on our end about the best way to approach things," [speaker name] said. "If we approached how to perform a console interface, a frequent challenge was that you no longer possess a mouse, so how can you approach character movements and use different abilities and targeting? Thus, Vicarious Visions has a lot of experience with consoles, which helped us a great deal with addressing lots of the technical aspects. We sort of combined our knowledge and ways of syncing with what we've performed on Diablo III as well as the knowledge Vicarious Visions understands. So, that was always a fantastic relationship with how we came together and building Diablo II: Resurrection on consoles"

During our interview with the remaster developers, we spoke about different classes learned from the making of the WarCraft III: Reforged, which was released to a combined reaction from fans. Much of enthusiast disappointment for WarCraft III: Reforged came from Blizzard using the remaster to replace the original game on Battle.net, making it the only way to play the previous strategy match at the WarCraft series. In our talk with Blizzard, the studio stated that they intend to maintain the initial version of Diablo II on Battle.net, which is playable together with the remaster. While Resurrected will keep the classic sport and visuals in its own heritage mode, players that are still utilized to the first can opt to play instead.
