Developer Blizzard Entertainment has officially released the latest entry in the beloved dark fantasy series. Previously, only owners of certain Diablo IV editions could begin the fight with Lilith, but with full release the gates of Hell burst open and Sanctuary now welcomes all defenders. The game is available on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4 and PS5.
To bring players up to speed on all things Diablo, the team previously shared a number of lore-related videos. This list includes the story launch trailer as well as a number of animated entries into the Book of Lorath series. If you have ever wanted to learn more about the universe of Diablo, such as how the Burning Hells and the High Heavens came to be stuck in the Eternal Conflict and what it means for Sanctuary, check them out!
While it has been some time since Archangel Malthael’s crusade against the mortals of Sanctuary, the world has not yet totally healed from that tragedy. And it is in this fragile and broken state the father and mother of Sanctuary return. It may not mean the best for humanity, despite the distant familial connection. The two will once again cross paths, and what was built is now at risk of destruction. Will you answer Sanctuary’s cry for help? Choose between five playable classes – Necromancer, Sorcerer, Barbarian, Druid or Rogue – and combat the unremitting darkness enhanced by Lilith’s arrival.
