Setting in motion a grand scheme to free his exiled brothers, Mephisto and Baal, Diablo takes control of the small western kingdom of Khanduras. Diablo, lord of terror and youngest of the three prime evils, awakes from his long sleep beneath the dark earth. That struggle has now come to the mortal realm, and neither man, demon, nor angel will be left unscathed. Since the beginning of time, the forces of order and chaos have been engaged in an eternal struggle to decide the fate of all creation. As one of five distinct character types, players explore the world of Diablo 2, journey across distant lands, fight new villains, discover new treasures, and uncover ancient mysteries.
In Diablo 2, players return to a world of dark fantasy.
