Story

Diablo II takes place after the end of the previous Diablo in the world of Sanctuary. A nameless warrior defeated Diablo and attempted to hold the essence of the Lord of Terror in his own body. Since then, the hero has been corrupted by the demon's spirit, allowing demons to invade the world around him and wreak havoc. Again, it is up to a single mortal to stand in Diablo's way and prevent the three supervillains from reuniting. If this mortal fails, the world of Sanctuary will become a permanent outpost of the Burning Hells.
