Diablo 2: Resurrected was announced at BlizzCon 2021 with a release date expected this year. That likely means the game is still months away, but you can sign up for a Diablo 2: Resurrected technical alpha test if you're anxious to get your hands on the remastered dungeon crawler.
With overhauled 3D graphics, remastered cinematics, and the underlying game that we all love still apparently intact, this should prove to be an eagerly anticipated playtest. Here's how to sign up for the Diablo 2: Resurrected technical alpha.

Is Diablo 2: Resurrected's technical alpha on console as well?
It's still unclear what platforms the Diablo 2: Resurrected technical alpha will include. The game is planned for release on PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Nintendo Switch. Cross-progression is also a planned feature, meaning you should be able to pick up and leave off on separate platforms as long as the game is owned on each.
Diablo 4 is also planned for release on PC and consoles. If you're thirsty for the latest information on this game's progression, we have a Diablo 4 BlizzCon 2021 developer interview to check out.
