The requirements of the resurrected PC for Diablo II have been revealed and Blizzard has confirmed that the next title will support mods.
After years of speculation, Blizzard finally announced the highly anticipated complete remastering of Diablo’s entry that changed the action RPG genre in 2000 – Diablo II Resurrected.
At that time, the title required only about 1 to 2 GB of RAM and a 1 GHz CPU. As for the GPU, Blizzard mentioned only a DirectX video card with support for 800×600 resolution. These specs certainly look old, so what about the minimum and recommended specs for the next remaster?

Those who wish to play in 1080p resolution will need at least 16 GB of RAM and an Intel i5-9600K / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU combined with an NVIDIA GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 5500 XT GPU. You will find the official specifications below:
