What can you experience?
New Classes
This time, you can experience two new classes alongside the Sorceress, Barbarian and Amazoness, which were already in the alpha test.
The "Druid" unleashes its wild and wild nature through its shape-shifting abilities.
BlizzardニュースDruids are nomads who call the wilds of Skosgren home. While the Druids' homeland is a place of rugged beauty, the wilderness is always lurking with werewolves and other monsters. In order to survive and rule in this wilderness, the druids have awakened their inner beast at the cost of being human.
The "Paladin" wields the hammer of justice.
BlizzardニュースThese Knights of Faith from the West, known as Paladins, are holy warriors whose activities are spread throughout the Sanctuary. Fighting for their faith, Paladins use the power of holy magic to oppose the forces of Hell and spread their faith throughout the land as they seek to exterminate the Evil One. Wearing the garb of war and serving the light, these knights are the indispensable guardians against the forces of darkness.
Multiplayer and more
Multiplayer will be available during both test weekends, and the cross-gression system will be supported on all compatible platforms.
In multiplayer, up to 8 players can play together, complementing each other's skills, and the more players who participate, the more HP the monsters have, the more experience they gain, and the items they drop are scaled up.
Furthermore, if players choose to face off against each other, they can even take their rivals by the ear in PvP.
As in the technical alpha, Act I <The Invisible Eye> and Act II <Secrets of Vigellei> are also all playable, and the cinematics of Act I and Act II have been completely remade.
These videos will also be available in the Diablo II Resurrected pre-access and open beta test!
