The publisher also confirmed it plans to hold an open beta in August for the remaster, which is set to release for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, with full cross-progression between formats.

Players will be able to choose between five different classes (Amazon, Barbarian, Paladin, Sorceress, and Druid) in the open beta test and party up with up to 8 players.

The game features both classic and remastered visuals, which players can switch between on the fly.

The remaster has been developed with Vicarious Visions, the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy studio which Activision Blizzard recently folded into Blizzard.
