Diablo 2 Unreal Engine 5 Fan Remake Gets Third-Person Mode

YouTube’s ‘I Make Games’ has released a new video for his fan remake of Diablo 2 in Unreal Engine 5. In this video, the developer showcases a third-person mode that has been added to it. So, if you are a Diablo fan, you should definitely check it out.

In this gameplay video, we get to see the Barbarian fighting the Ancients. The Ancients are the spirits of three different Barbarians who were chosen to guard the summit of Mt. Arreat.

As the dev claimed, the Ancient models are AI-generated, rigged, and then imported into Unreal Engine 5, where they were animated and built with Blueprints.

This video took around 10 days to complete. It’s still a bit rough around the edges, but it can at least give us an idea of what this iconic boss fight could look like in a modern-day remake of Diablo 2.

I’ve also included another video that came out last month. In this video, the dev showcased the Inventory System, Loot, Carver Shaman, and Charge Skill.

Initially, I Make Games planned to release this fan remake to the public. However, he has now removed all references to a public release. Instead, he now describes it as a fan concept meant to give people an idea of what a modern first-person take on Diablo could look like. It’s a bummer that we may never get the chance to try it. At the same time, I totally understand why the creator made this change.

Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, you should also check out the following fan projects. For instance, you can find some faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, which are super cool. A few months ago, we also shared an amazing remake of Toy Story 2. Then there’s this cool fan remake of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Let’s also not forget this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look. Oh, and don’t miss the Grand Theft Auto 6 fan concept in UE5; it’s pretty impressive.

In February 2024, we also shared fan remakes of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and GTA 3, as well as an Uncharted fan game. We also have a remaster of Unreal Gold and a cool fan remake of Doom 3. You should also watch the full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9, and this HD-2D Fan Remake for Xenogears. Moreover, here is a fantastic fan remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. Yesterday, we also shared a fan remake of Doom 3 in UE5.

Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground also have some awesome fan remakes. There’s even a fan remake of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation that features Angelina Jolie and Christoph Waltz. But that’s not all. Fans have also made remakes for Star Wars: Republic Commando, Death Stranding, Fallout 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, and Silent Hill 3’s Lakeside Amusement Park. A former Infinity Ward and Wargaming artist has also remastered Half-Life 2’s train station intro in Unreal Engine 5. Let’s also not forget the upcoming fan remake of Resident Evil 3.5. Oh, and there’s a video showing MGS2’s iconic intro in UE5.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
