Diablo 2: Resurrected Won't Feature Crossplay Between Platforms

Blizzard's Diablo 2: Resurrected has been a highly anticipated game, especially after its recent announcement at BlizzCon 2021. The remastered version of the classic ARPG from 2000 is expected to be released on PC and consoles later this year. While fans are excited about the upcoming release, there is one feature that won't be included: crossplay between platforms.

In an interview with IGN Middle East, designer Andre Abrahamian and producer Matthew Cederquist discussed the decision not to include crossplay in Diablo 2: Resurrected. According to Cederquist, this was due to the different user interfaces (UIs), control schemes, and design elements between various platforms. This means that players will not be able to seamlessly transition between playing with friends on different platforms.

However, Blizzard has confirmed that players will be able to transfer their data between platforms to ensure consistent progress. This is a great feature for those who want to play the game on multiple devices without worrying about losing their progress.

Another positive aspect of Diablo 2: Resurrected is its accessibility options. According to Cederquist, cross-progression is a way to give players 'the best experience' regardless of which platform they choose to play on. This is great news for those who may have different preferences when it comes to playing games on different devices.

It's worth noting that fans will still be able to import saves from the original Diablo 2, giving them a chance to continue their progress in the remastered game.

In conclusion, while crossplay between platforms won't be included in Diablo 2: Resurrected, there are still plenty of reasons to be excited about this upcoming release. The ability to transfer data between platforms and import saves from the original game will make it easy for players to continue their progress without any interruptions.
