D2r can you play offline with friends

So I'm planning to play D2R mostly in singleplayer (offline), cause I enjoy playing it alone... mostly (and also because of shitty internet). Is it possible to play with friends with those chars? Or are they "banned" from Battle.net? I remember old D2 had some restrictions for SP chars.

Edit: Thanks guys. I remember playing over LAN back then, but not possible now. Damn it :(

Diablo 2: Resurrected may not have offline multiplayer options, but you can still play with your friends using its online play features.

As long as you and your friend both have the game and are friends with one another on Battle.net, you can easily set up a play session with one another.

Diablo 2: Resurrected does not have cross-platform play options at this time. So if you’re looking to play with a friend online, you’ll need to make sure that both you and your friend are playing on the same system as one another.

After selecting your character in the main menu, you can get in the game with your friends by creating a private game. Just make sure that you’re listed as “Online” beforehand.

Once you or your friend have started a private match, that person can go to their friends list and invite the other to join the game. From there, the person being invited should be prompted to join and you can begin your play session.

Can you make an offline character online D2R?

Does D2R have local multiplayer?

Diablo 2: Resurrected does not have split-screen multiplayer options. Much like the way the game originally operated, the new remake doesn't give players the option to partake in the classic couch co-op experience many older console games give.

How do you play D2R offline?

After launching the game, there should be a ToggleButton that allows you choose between online or offline characters. If you toggle offline, then create a character, that character will not require an internet connection.
