Blizzard provided a new gameplay trailer this evening for Diablo II: Resurrected that was shared during Microsoft's Xbox Mega E3 Super Show. This new trailer says that Diablo II: Resurrected will be released on September 23, 2021 for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Worry not though, because it's also supposed to be released on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch at the same time.
The game will retail for $39.99 (USD) at launch.
Today's look at the game also includes word that there will be a beta test in August that runs for a limited time. Those that pre-order the game will get early access to this beta which will then, I believe, open up to everyone later on. Xbox Live Gold will not be required to play during the beta but will be required during the early beta access and for the full game at launch if you want to do online multiplayer.
DIABLO II: RESURRECTED™ is the definitive remastering of Diablo II and its Lord of Destruction® expansion—two hallmark entries in Blizzard Entertainment’s genre-defining action role-playing series. Veteran players, as well as those who missed out when the original game was first released twenty years ago, can now experience Diablo II’s timeless gameplay with modern visuals and audio that take advantage of today’s gaming hardware. Diablo II: Resurrected is coming to Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One on September 23, 2021. The Diablo II: Resurrected multiplayer open beta test, coming in August, will allow Xbox and PC gamers the opportunity to get in early and try the game with their friends for a limited time.
