Blizzard has decided to remaster an all time classic with Diablo 2 Resurrected, coming almost 20 years after the original. Here's what we know so far.
Early Access
With the launch of this new version just around the corner, the studio will give players the opportunity to experience the game in two beta test weekends! For those who pre-ordered the game they will have Early Access from August 13th.
Developers also announced an Open Beta launching on August 20th. These testing versions will be available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Nintendo Switch users will have to wait for the official release in September.

Open Beta
One week later, on August 20th, Diablo 2 Resurrected will open the beta to anyone who wants to take part. The open beta will be online until the 23rd.
Act 1, Act 2, and Multiplayer modes that will support up to 8 players in PvP or PvE, will be fully playable in both beta options. They will also include fully remade cinematics.
