Diablo 2: Resurrected aims to balance being faithful to the 21-year-old original with just enough of an overhaul to bring it in line with modern gaming monitors, and other graphical improvements, you still won't need a beefy rig to run the game well.
In fact, most boost fps, though.
This isn't particularly surprising, since Diablo 2: Resurrected is a remaster rather than a full-blown remake. The underlying game engine is identical, which means you'll even be able to manually transfer local offline save files from the original if you still have them. (Online save files sadly aren't compatible because of improvements made to Battle.net over the years.)
Since the 3D models are layered over 2D sprites, there's an option to toggle between the upgraded and legacy visuals, but there's no indication whether this lowers the barrier to entry even further. That said, it's unlikely you'll need to with how kind the Diablo 2: Resurrected system requirements are. It's nice to know that you might be able to whip out your aging gaming laptop to play the game.
