QUEST LOG
PURCHASE THE GAME
Fearsome demons, brave adventurers, and the world of Sanctuary, resurrected. We welcome you to experience this timeless classic, now with fully rebuilt 3D graphics, remastered audio, brand-new cinematics, quality-of-life changes, cross-progression support, and so much more. Choose from seven unique classes to be your vessel of vengeance as you slay and loot your foes in an epic tale of evil corruption.
If you haven’t already picked up a copy of the game, you can digitally pre-purchase Diablo II: Resurrected for Windows® PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and the Nintendo Switch™ system. As an added perk, you'll be able to pre-download following your pre-purchase now.

If you currently own Diablo III, all players who pre-purchase Diablo II: Resurrected will be able to immediately unlock the Heritage of Arreat transmog—a Diablo II-themed Barbarian transmog set that Diablo III Barbarians can wear for that classic blue warpaint look. Anyone who pre-purchased the Diablo Prime Evil Collection can also unlock their Mephisto pet and equip the menacing Hatred’s Grasp wing set in Diablo III. For more details, click .

FAQ
A: We plan on implementing Ladder rankings and listings post-launch. We’ll provide a more comprehensive update on this soon.
A: Beyond an internet connection, for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, the Xbox Live Gold plan will be required to access multiplayer features. For PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4, the PlayStation Plus plan will be required to access multiplayer features.
A: Players will be able to load their local offline saves by copying the save files from the original Diablo II to Diablo II: Resurrected on PC. The underlying game engine is the same, so those local saves will work but they will need to be copied over manually. However, local save files (whether newly created or copied from Diablo II) will be different from online save files—there are profound differences between the modern Battle.net of today and the platform we launched with Diablo II all those years ago. To enjoy all of the modern online features, such as friend invites and greater security, players will need to create a new online character.
