Rumour: A Remaster is in Development For ‘Diablo II’ For Later This Year?!
Once again, grab your salt shakers.
With the 20th anniversary (holy crap, I’m old) of Blizzard’s classic Diablo II coming up next month, and despite its original creators doubting that it would be possible, French website Actugaming claims that we might be in store for a remaster.
According to their sources, the remaster would be called Diablo II Resurrected, and would hit later this year. Vicarious Visions, the same team behind the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, are the ones behind the development duties. The game could be announced during Summer Game Fest, the video game celebration meant to replace E3 that’ll run through May until August, or Blizzard is keeping the surprise hidden until BlizzCon in November.
Though it could be a coincidence, a new listing on Gamestop has appeared for a Diablo II Tyrael Funko PoP figure.
Regardless of whether this is indeed true, fans are still waiting on Diablo IV, which is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
