What would the original Diablolook like as a new game now,Rolls Royce Baby 20 years after the original launched?
Blizzard is going to answer that question for the game's 20th anniversary. An upcoming free update for Diablo 3: Reaper of Soulsadds a rebuilt version of the PC gaming classic for players to explore.

While the remade Diablowill benefit from Diablo 3's graphical and gameplay enhancements, Blizzard is offering fans a way to tap into the lo-fi feel of the original. The update will include a "Glorious Retrovision" filter that makes everything look pixelated, and characters will only be able to move in eight directions, a contrast to Diablo 3's more organic movement.
Note that while the "Darkening" update is free, it does require the Reaper of Soulsexpansion. If you just own vanilla Diablo 3, you won't get the new content. If you're in that latter group, consider the upgrade; Reaper of Soulsmakes Diablo 3a significantly better game.
There isn't a release date set yet for the update, but fans that play on PC will be able to give it a shot soon. "The Darkening of Tristram" will be added to the Public Test Realm for Diablo-- a frequently updated beta server where patches are tested in a live environment, prior to release -- sometime next week.
Once Blizzard releases an update to a PTR, it's usually finalized and released to the game's main servers a few weeks later. That could be the case here, though it's also worth noting that Diablo's 20th anniversary falls on Dec. 31.
