New Era for Sanctuary Arrives with Diablo V

The climax for the celebration of 30 years of Diablo came with the announcement of the new Era for Sanctuary and the first details of the world, classes, and systems taking shape in Diablo V. Throughout the 30 years of Diablo, the heroes – adventurers, Nephilim, blessed – were around to resist the call of evil and give fight. But what happens when the heroes lose and the Terror reigns?

The heroes of the past have failed, Sanctuary has fallen, and Diablo is one step closer to invading the High Heavens. Diablo is no longer a distant threat waiting at the end of the journey. He is present from the moment Diablo V begins, shaping the story, the world, and your path through it.

In Diablo V, you will become the Heir to Westmarch and traverse a Sanctuary actively reshaped by Diablo, accompanied by a growing caravan of survivors. The team also unveiled the Demon Hunter, Monk, and all-new Plague Knight classes and shared how past Diablo games are inspiring a renewed focus on item depth, clarity, and identity.

Your mysterious connection to Diablo makes you both a threat and uniquely vulnerable to his powerful influence. With Sanctuary’s greatest champions gone, what must you become to fight for the home taken from you?
