Blizzard announced Diablo II: Resurrected earlier this year as a faithful remaster of the classic role-playing game. While gameplay will reportedly stay the same, a new coat of paint gives the 2000 original a more modern look. Folks who prefer the old-school graphics, however, can swap between them on the fly.

Blizzard also plans to implement quality-of-life changes like a shared stash for easily transferring equipment between characters and the ability to use decades-old saves in the new game.

Recording and streaming will be allowed during the Diablo II: Resurrected alpha test, so even if you don’t get in to play yourself, there’s sure to be a lot more gameplay footage for fans to lap up both during the event and after the weekend is over.
