The world of Sanctuary has been plunged further into darkness with war and chaos ravaging the hellscape as a result of the defeat of the prime evil and the angel of death, Malthael. As Life begins to return to normal, a new profound evil begins to rise threatening to disturb the peace once more, prompting the heroes of Sanctuary to rise to the occasion.

In-game, you will be able to take on the solo campaign which is a tumultuous journey that will see you slay hundreds if not thousands of nightmarish enemies in a 40-50 hour story.

Indulge yourself in the incredibly vast world of Sanctuary, an environment riddled with things to do and explore from its desolate ruins to its morbid dungeons.

Transmogrification, from Diablo III, is back once again with some new and improved enhancements. This feature allows you to freely mold your armor set by mixing and matching different armor options to best suit your playstyle.

Hop into online mode and explore a shared world where players can interact with each other and battle world bosses, trade, and participate in visceral PvP battles.
