Diablo II Resurrected cross-play and cross-progression: Everything we know so far

With Diablo II Resurrected, Blizzard is bringing the classic game to the consoles as well as the option for cross-play and cross-progression.

Developed and Published by Blizzard Entertainment, Diablo II was released back in 2000. The game and its expansion Lord of Destruction quickly ascended to become amongst the most classic games of all time. The action RPG dungeon crawling experience cemented the Diablo series in video game history.

The next game in the series, Diablo III, was released more than a decade after Diablo II in 2012, but it failed to live up to the franchise’s fame. Diablo III took a more online-based, MMORPG approach over the franchise’s tried and true ARPG approach.

Two decades later, Blizzard is bringing back Diablo II and its expansion Lord of Destruction for modern platforms, with a slew of upgrades to Diablo II Resurrected.
