Diablo 2 Resurrected

The action role-playing game Diablo 2 Resurrection will finally be released this week, more precisely on September 23, 2021. It will then be available for both PC and consoles, including a version for the Nintendo Switch. But what can gamers expect from the Switch version? Does it run just as well there as it does on the other platforms? What about the overview in handheld mode? Rob Gallerani and Kevin Todisco from the development studio Vicarious Visions commented on these topics and gave a little foretaste of the port.

"I think it's going fantastic. I really enjoy playing it in undocked portable mode . We've customized the console versions for exactly that experience. We didn't want it to feel like we'd just ported a PC game to consoles. We considered a lot of things with the Switch version, especially when im Portable mode is playing. Everything is a lot smaller. We paid a lot of attention to a lot of things. What is the font size? How are things arranged on the screen? These are all the things that we had to adjust for this device to be can play to its strengths. "

Accordingly, the Vicarious Visions team apparently attached great importance to adapting Diablo 2 Resurrected for the switch and its hardware. How well it actually plays in practice will be known by this Thursday at the latest.

    The set includes the game in a special packaging and some interesting extras: headphones with the game's logo, socks, and hot sauce, which was called Portal to Hell. Most attention, however, players attracted the last element of the bundle.


    In a small casket there is a replica of the Stone of Jordan. The cardboard stand also presents the ring's stats, taken directly from the game. I must admit that this particular element of the set looks really impressive. The possibility of owning it also outside the game would be a real treat for most fans.

    This is also an interesting choice on the part of Blizzard Entertainment. The Stone of Jordan is an item which plays a special role in Diablo 2. At one point, the ring was even an alternative currency. Its sale (in appropriate number of pieces) enabled the player to summon a special boss known as Über Diablo.


    Unfortunately, this set is unavailable for sale. However, fans keep their fingers crossed that it will be available for purchase in the future.
