Diablo 4: Release date

  • Let's start with the most important thing. With no surprise, no release date has been offered. They simply stated that it is not going to happen soon, not even the Blizzard-specific 'soon'. This explains why all the following information is rather superficial and many important points have not been mentioned. However, there are other conferences coming up tomorrow.

Story

  • The story takes place decades after Reapers of Souls. Sanctuary was devastated, as well as the heavens that withdrew to themselves. Lilith, Mephisto's daughter, considered the mother of humanity, returns to Sanctuary. The reasons for its invocation are currently kept secret.
