Return to Diablo 2's darkness
While Diablo 3 was a strong showing, Blizzard says it wants to get back to Diablo 2's gory and medieval themes in Diablo 4. Slain monsters can be decapitated, dissolved, and shattered. Players will come upon cultish rituals and walk the halls of dusty, cobweb-ladden dungeons. In the middle of the story is Lilith, Mephisto's daughter, who has been resurrected to inflict pain on what few humans are left in Sanctuary.
