A Reddit member with a fairly good track record when it comes to leaks has stated on the platform that the Diablo 2 Remaster is heading to the Nintendo Switch this year. As some of you might know, Blizzcon 2021 takes place today at 2pm PT, which is 10pm UK time. Obviously the event is an online affair this year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. You can watch the event live on Youtube here. Games which are expected to be showcased during Blizzcon 2021 are Diablo IV, Overwatch 2, World of Warcraft, Hearthstone and the rumoured Diablo 2 remaster. Here’s what PracticalBrush12 had to say about the Diablo 2 Remaster:
“Then also D2R yay, it’s coming! It’s a remaster – the original game literally runs under the new 3D 60fps graphics engine so that means the gameplay is identical! There’s even a switch to flip the graphics on the fly! Remastered audio and cinematics! Shared stash is here! Advanced stats summary – no more counting needed! Toggleable auto gold pickup! Controller support ( as it comes to all major consoles, Switch too). Shift to compare! Dynamic lighting but still dark as the original! Cross progression! You’re not forced to be online to play, just once! You can sing up for technical alpha, game should come this year!”
The production of Diablo 2 Resurrected is really good. It can run on many platforms, which is very convenient for many players. With the recent release of the ladder system, the competition of the game has become more intense. If you don’t invest some time to acquire D2R Ladder Items, it is basically impossible to appear at the top of the leaderboard. However, players can check out MMOWTS, where they can get D2R Ladder Items faster.
