Blizzard’s Diablo II Remaster Will Support Old Archive Files

Blizzard declared last month Diablo II: the resurrection. It’s been revamped for the base game and Lord of Destruction, and it’s coming to Nintendo Switch and many other platforms this year. If you are a returning gamer, you might want to know that you can actually use your savings from the original game on your computer.

Speaking to IGN, game producer Matthew Siderquist explained that there were no initial plans to support the preservation of files over two decades old. The staff just tried and in this case it worked.

“Even when we were working [the remaster]We wondered if the old backup files would work, we pushed them around a bit and it worked. And we were like, “Well, this is the best feature ever.” “

While there’s no indication if this feature will work even with console versions of the game, the remaster software does support progression across the country. So in theory, you should be able to download your old PC backup file to the PC version and then access it on whatever platform you want.

Even if you don’t have the original archives, it technically means that you can start cheating on any character of your choice in the original PC version (available on Battle.Net), since Remaster is the same game that offers new sounds and graphics. , and some other changes like the interface. Improved user, extended storage and renewed seasons.
