Thanks to Blizzard's new 3D graphics engine, the visual quality of Diablo 2 Resurrection is upgraded to modern high-definition standards. The main game contains the classes Amazon, Necromancer, Barbarian, Sorceress, and Paladin, whereas the Lord of Destruction expansion pack adds two more classes to the list: Assassin and Barbarian.

Cross-progression: Thanks to this technology, Diablo 2 players can transfer their progress between different PCs and or consoles (Xbox and PlayStation) and continue playing the game right where they left off.

The main character in Diablo 2 is on a mission to chase the Dark Wanderer and destroy the soulstone that has kept him possessed with Diablo's evil spirit. This is where the story of Diablo 2 begins. From this moment, the fallen hero will be known as the Dark Wanderer. It turned out to be a very bad idea, as the hero was rapidly corrupted by Diablo's soul. At the end of the story of Diablo I, Diablo was defeated by a hero who decided to drive Diablo's soulstone into his own head, in an attempt to contain the feared devil in his own body.
