Diablo II: Resurrected Won't Launch with Co-op Option, But Cross-Play is Coming

The highly anticipated release of Diablo II: Resurrected has finally arrived, bringing back the classic action-packed gameplay that fans have been craving for years. However, one feature that many were hoping to see included in the game's launch is the option for co-op play with friends on the same console or PC. Unfortunately, Blizzard Entertainment has announced that this feature will not be available at launch.

Instead of including multiple unnecessary game modes with limited appeal, developers seem to be sticking close to its source material. Diablo 2 is a famous computer game developed by Blizzard North, and it's clear that the team wants to recreate an authentic experience for fans. While couch co-op would be fantastic, it wouldn't enhance the experience as much as a cross-play feature.

Speaking on Twitter, Adam Fletcher echoed this sentiment, stating that 'A new PC patch is being pushed out to players' which should resolve the AVX issue and allow users with non-AVX supported processors to play Diablo II: Resurrected. This will be a welcome relief for many fans who were previously unable to enjoy the game.

Blizzard has announced plans to bring cross-play to Diablo II: Resurrected sometime after launch, once it becomes more fleshed out. This is great news for fans of the series, as it would allow them to play with friends across different platforms. Diablo fans are spread across all mainstream gaming platforms and would love to share their experience with friends playing on rival hardware.

While the absence of couch co-op may be a disappointment for some, cross-play's absence in Diablo II: Resurrected should be more concerning than the lack of this feature. As Uldrison noted on the official forums, 'As others may have noticed, a new patch is now live that should resolve the AVX issue... This will allow users with non-AVX supported processors to play Diablo II: Resurrected.' With cross-play coming down the line, it's clear that Blizzard is committed to recreating an authentic Diablo experience for fans.

In conclusion, while Diablo II: Resurrected may not launch with co-op option, its commitment to recreating an authentic Diablo experience and the promise of cross-play in the future make up for this absence. With a new PC patch on the way to resolve AVX issues, fans can rest assured that they'll be able to enjoy the game soon.
