Diablo ii: resurrected will make its triumphant return tomorrow on PC and consoles. Here's how to best prepare for this terrible journey to the East.

The time of the crime
Like the open beta, Diablo II: Resurrected will open the gates of the Underworld simultaneously across the world. Blizzard has therefore shared an image detailing the opening hours of the game according to the regions.
What therefore particularly interests us here is that the festivities can begin in Spain on September 23 from 17 p.m. (Paris time). If you are in another region of the globe, the image above is there to provide you with the corresponding timetable.
For those who missed the call of the Black Ranger, it is still possible to acquire a version of the game according to your favorite platform. On PC, you will have to go to Battle.net. On Xbox One and Series X|S, this will happen on the Microsoft Store side, and on the PlayStation Store for the PS4 and PS5 versions. Finally, the Nintendo Switch version can be purchased directly from the Nintendo eShop.
Those who pre-ordered the game before September 23 and already own Diablo III will receive a transmog set for the Barbarian, in tribute to the iconic class of Diablo II. For those who have acquired the Diablo Prime Evil Collection edition, including Diablo II: Resurrected and Diablo III, including the expansion and Necromancer class, they will also receive a Mephisto pet and the Grasp of Hate wings.

Stay awhile and read this scroll well
So that the game can launch (if the servers hold the load) tomorrow at 17 p.m. with us, Blizzard has also shared some instructions so that the teleportation spell does not fail. It is indeed already possible to download the game, with some differences depending on the platform.
On PC, go to Battle.net, if necessary after creating an account there. From there, just go to the tab dedicated to the game and install it. On Xbox One and Series X|S, an Xbox Live account is absolutely necessary. If Quick Resume is enabled, the game download will begin automatically. Alternatively, go to "My games & apps" on the Xbox Live home screen to find the game and start installing it.
On PS4 and PS5, the procedure is more or less the same as for Xbox consoles. Once logged into your usual account, the automatic download will take care of everything. If this option is not activated, it will suffice to search for the game in your library in order to download it manually.
Finally, on Nintendo Switch, you will need to register the game code on the Nintendo eShop linked to your profile. Once done, a confirmation screen will tell you that the code has been recognized. The game download should start automatically soon after.
So here you are, ready to face the horrors that the Lord of Terror is about to pour out in a remastered version, whatever your platform. May the Light of Tyrael guide you.
