Diablo 2: Resurrected is almost here—the remaster of Blizzard North's classic Action RPG is set for release on September 23. The original was released way back in 2000, and Resurrected has made a lot of improvements to bring the game into the modern age. An open beta weekend took place in August, so you may have had a chance to check out the game already.

PC Gamer got an early look at Diablo 2: Resurrected back in April, but if you're keen to jump into Hell at the earliest opportunity and see for yourself, here's when you can play Diablo 2: Resurrected.

If you didn't play the original—or even if you did and want a refresher—this Diablo 2 class guide should give you some pointers. Alternatively, here's an early look at Diablo's graphical settings.

In 2021, she was offered a full-time position on the PC Gamer team where she takes every possible opportunity to talk about World of Warcraft and Elden Ring. When not writing guides, most of her spare time is spent in Azeroth—though she's quite partial to JRPGs too. One of her fondest hopes is to one day play through the ending of Final Fantasy X without breaking down into a sobbing heap. She probably has more wolves in Valheim than you.
