Diablo 2 Resurrected: old saves compatible with the remaster

Good news for players of Diablo 2 directly from the producer of the project, Matthew Cederquist: old saves are compatible with the remaster Resurrected announced during the recent BlizzcOnline.

The Diablo 2 remaster had been announced with other projects such as the Blizzard Arcade Collection e World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic (you can find the complete BlizzcOnline recap here), but it seems that more and more news of the Blizzard Action RPG is appearing day after day. This time around the existence of the feature of keeping old saves was shared in an interview with colleagues from IGN Middle East.

If you are one of the daredevils who still have saves of a 20-year-old game, the news of the save game compatibility should make you a lot of gluttony. Despite the small number of people who probably could still have a saved Diablo 2 save, it seems that the development team behind the remaster takes this aspect of the game to heart, almost as if they have some kind of reverence for the title.

When we were working on the remaster we were wondering if the old save files would work, we tucked them in somehow and they worked! We were like, 'ok, this is the best feature ever'

Diablo 2 will rise again by 2021 with 4K graphics, 7.1 surround sound, updated 3D models and remastered cut-scenes. Also, thanks to the reverence of the developers for Diablo 2, players will be able to switch from the remaster to the classic version at the push of a button. In other words, with a practical switch you can smoothly change from a modern version to a vintage version of Diablo 2.

In the past few days, we have also learned that Diablo 2: Resurrected in addition to having the classic single player mode, will also offer a new alpha version of multiplayer mode. The most impatient and the most curious players can already try to sign up for the alpha through Battle.net, while the whole world awaits the arrival of the remaster.

Diablo 2: Resurrected is also set to arrive pretty soon all platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X e Nintendo Switch.
