In the video below, the creators demonstrated their work. As it turns out, they’ve completely redesigned the visuals of Diablo II. Improvements affected absolutely all aspects – objects of the environment, models of characters and enemies, animations, textures, lighting, and so on. Diablo 2 HD Remake: Respawned looks much more attractive than the original twenty years ago. UI elements were also tweaked, including health and mana bars, mini-map, and displaying the number of potions.

According to the developers, their project will take “the best elements from the whole series. ” Apparently, this also applies to gameplay mechanics.

The released demo is called “technical alpha” and is intended to test the status of the current build of Diablo 2 HD Remake: Respawned. The release date of the project has not yet been disclosed. Once released, it will continue to be distributed free of charge.
