Diablo

Diablo Guía y cronología

Sanctuary's people live amid a struggle between powers that treat human lives as expendable. Diablo turns that dark fantasy into journeys through ruined settlements, dangerous wilderness and monster-filled depths, with equipment and abilities shaping each fight. The games and expansions revisit the world at different points in its long conflict.

Resurrected revisits Diablo II and Lord of Destruction; it is not the next story after Reaper of Souls.

Overview & recommendation

The numbered games return to a Sanctuary still living with the consequences of earlier demonic conflicts. Their broad sequence gives those returns context without demanding every edition of the same campaign.

Diablo II is the main version choice. Its original game and expansion can be experienced through Resurrected instead, while Immortal was published later but reaches back into the gap before III.

Choose your Diablo II version, keep each expansion with its base-game story, and use Immortal as an optional intervening journey. Treat Hellfire's canon and placement as qualified rather than indispensable preparation.

Main games without duplicate campaigns 12 entries

Follow the numbered sequence and associated expansions. Choose original II with Lord of Destruction or Resurrected for that campaign instead of making both compulsory.

New chapters and a return to Diablo II 12 entries

Publication history distinguishes later editions from narrative continuations. A remaster arriving after III does not move the underlying II story beyond it.
