Tathamet and Anu fought for eons, a battle of true Good and Evil. Diablo has always had a story, and I'm going to tell it.

You do not need to have played the previous games to enjoy Diablo 4, but the more you know about the world, the richer the experience you will have. Many of the naysayers, 'What, Diablo has a story?' voices have been silenced by what was an enthralling Act 1. I can say with certainty that Diablo 4 does a better job than any of the games that have come before it, at telling a compelling story. Helped greatly I'm sure by the insane marketing campaign Blizzard has put behind this new addition to the series. Players I'd never have expected to try a Diablo game have been playing and loving Diablo 4, and it's been a joy to behold. As a Diablo fan this has been an incredible year so far, and I'm comforted by the sheer volume of buzz on social media for the Diablo universe. After two weekends of Diablo 4 beta, it's fair to say fans old and new have been left hungry for more, and thankfully due to the Server Slam we got a third taste.
