Have a special Necromancer that you are cultivating Diablo II with years? Good news: Risen Diablo II will allow you to import them to continue commanding the armies of the dead more than 20 years later.
Released later this year on consoles and PC, the new remastered will still work with the players’ original saved files, Blizzard confirmed in an interview with IGN Middle East yesterday. “Yes! Keep your old saved files,” Diablo II: resurrected said game producer Matthew Cederquist. “When we were working on [the remaster], we wondered if the old saved files would work, so we kind of pushed and it worked! So, yes, your files saved to a single local player will be transferred. “
Although the remastering is coming to PS4, Xbox One and Switch, as well as the next generation consoles, importing your saved data will obviously only work with the PC version. In addition to being a visual makeover of the game, Risen it will also support cross progression and a shared stock between all your characters. Players interested in maintaining the game’s original appearance will also be able to switch between the remastered and legacy versions.
I’ve never been very deep in Blizzard’s loot dungeon crawler, but I know people whose entire lives he consumed early in the morning. Having the opportunity to revisit these monuments easily with a click of the mouse will surely be a blessing and a curse. Said Cederquist, “[When it worked], we thought, ‘ok, this is the best resource ever.’ “
