The action-RPG genre is about to receive a blast from the past as Sacred 2: Fallen Angel prepares for its grand return in a remastered edition. Originally launched in 2008, this Diablo-inspired adventure captivated players with its expansive world, diverse character classes, and engaging co-op gameplay. Now, developer SparklingBit and publisher THQ Nordic are bringing this cult classic to modern platforms with significant visual and technical upgrades.

While the original release received mixed reviews, Sacred 2 developed a dedicated following over the years. Its unique blend of hack-and-slash combat, deep character customization, and massive open world offered hundreds of hours of gameplay. The remaster promises to preserve everything fans loved while addressing the technical issues that hampered the original experience.

What to Expect from the Sacred 2 Remaster

The Sacred 2 Remaster isn't just a simple resolution bump. THQ Nordic has confirmed several key improvements:

• Enhanced Visuals: Completely overhauled graphics with modern lighting, textures, and effects
• Refined Combat: Smoother animations and more responsive controls
• Improved UI: A redesigned interface that maintains the original's charm while improving usability
• Technical Polish: Fixed bugs and performance issues from the original release
• Complete Package: Includes all post-launch content and the previously PC-exclusive Ice & Blood expansion

For console players who missed the Ice & Blood expansion, this will be their first chance to experience its new quests, regions, and challenges. The expansion doesn't revolutionize the core gameplay but provides substantial new content for dedicated fans

The remaster's announcement has sparked speculation about the franchise's future. As Sacred 2 serves as a prequel to the original Sacred, many fans hope to see that game receive similar treatment. While Sacred 3 was poorly received, its inclusion would complete the trilogy for modern audiences.
