At BlizzCon 2021 on February 20, Blizzard unveiled an updated version of the classic RPG Diablo II. According to Blizzard, the remake of the cult game will receive a modern engine (redesigned models/lighting), will support current technologies, and will be able to work at 60 frames per second.
After such stunning statements by the authors of the project, many gamers have matured quite a natural question: “Will it be necessary to update your PC in order to play the remake?” And apparently, the answer to this question is rather negative:
Last night it finally became known which computers will be able to run Diablo II Resurrected.
In order to play the new version of Diablo 2 at minimum graphics settings and 720p resolution, you need the following hardware configuration:
- OS: Windows® 10;
- CPU: Intel Core i3-3250 / AMD FX-4350;
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 / AMD Radeon HD 7850;
- RAM: 8 GB;
- Storage: 30 GB.
Thus, almost every gamer will be able to try out the remake on the minimum settings. Recommended system requirements for high graphics settings and 1080p resolution look a little more formidable, especially considering the current cost of the video cards described in them:
- OS: Windows® 10;
- CPU: Intel® Core i5-9600k / AMD Ryzen 5 2600;
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT;
- RAM: 16 GB;
- Storage: 30 GB.
However, if you managed to buy yourself a card like RX 5500 XT or GTX 1660 before the second wave of cryptocurrency fever, there is nothing special for you to worry about.
Diablo II Resurrected Coming To PC, PS5/PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch In 2021.
