Welcome to hell! On December 31st, 1996, Blizzard Entertainment released the original Diablo game that forever shaped the aRPG genre and started one of the most famous and beloved franchises of the developer.
While it is not as easy as it might seem to play the original game anymore, those wanting to re-experience the fall of Tristram can do so through the Darkening of Tristram event taking place in Diablo 3 between January 1st and January 31st.
Your journey begins on the trail of a group of mysterious cultists causing trouble in Sanctuary. As you hunt them down in Adventure Mode, you’ll uncover clues leading to a portal into Tristram’s past, and the terrifying darkness that took hold of the town so many years ago. . . .
Follow the clues and you’ll soon find yourself in a realm of glorious RetroVision™, where an all-too-familiar cathedral looms. Explore the depths and you’ll discover familiar enemies and iconic items, all brought to life in the Diablo III engine. Meanwhile, deep beneath the catacombs, the Dark Lord himself awaits any intrepid adventurer who dares to challenge him. . . .
