"Death, at last, shall spread its wings over all . . ."
The defeat of Diablo, Lord of Terror, should have given rise to
an age of hope. Instead, it has drawn out a shadowy being of
immense power, whose malevolent purpose is yet to be revealed.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, the upcoming expansion to Diablo
III, opens a dark and terrifying new chapter in the ongoing
conflict over the mortal realm of Sanctuary.
Malthael, the fallen Archangel of Wisdom, vanished after the
events depicted at the end of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. In
Reaper of Souls, he returns as the Angel of Death and seizes the
Black Soulstone, which contains the essence of the Prime Evil. It
now falls to the players to track down Malthael and stop him
before he unleashes irreversible havoc on the world.
Fortunately, a new hero is ready to join the cause and bring
Malthael to justice—the Crusader. Driven by a centuries-long
quest to cleanse the corruption blighting their beloved Zakarum
faith, Crusaders are warriors of righteousness who have been
hardened through relentless, brutal combat with the foul evils
plaguing eastern Sanctuary. In addition to wearing immensely
heavy armor and wielding a wide range of cruel and punishing
weapons, this new playable class in Reaper of Souls uses battle
magic to strengthen allies and weaken foes. A natural walking
tank, the Crusader adds power and versatility to any party of
adventurers.
In addition to taking the story of Diablo III from the legendary
city of Westmarch to the unhallowed halls of the Pandemonium
Fortress in Act V and introducing the incorruptible Crusader
class, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls increases the game's level cap
to 70. Players continuing on with their existing Barbarian, Witch
Doctor, Demon Hunter, Wizard, and Monk characters will benefit
from an array of fearsome new spells and abilities as they
advance in level.
The expansion also accentuates the key features of the Diablo
franchise, with a greater emphasis on randomised environments to
explore; epic new quests; horrific new monsters to defeat; and
substantial updates to the loot experience, enabling players to
further customize their characters with new and improved
multilevel Legendary items, new Blacksmith and Jeweler
item-crafting options, and more.
Diablo III's Paragon progression system is also being majorly
upgraded for the expansion, adding even more end-game character
advancement and replayability. Two new game modes—Loot Runs and
Nephalem Trials— are being added as well, providing fun and
rewarding challenges for players to tackle when they're not busy
saving the world.
