Diablo

Update: The Diablo Twitter account has confirmed this, so it's really real now!

Wisdom does not mean infallibility.

The lore of the Diablo franchise has gotten deeper and more involved with every new game, expanding from the small town of Tristram and the catacombs beneath the cathedral there to a globe-spanning adventure that led to Hell itself and finally in Diablo 3 we went to the Heavens and Pandemonium in turn. We've seen nightmarish monsters, Baal's army overwhelm the Barbarians and the destruction of the Worldstone, the siege of the Crystal Arch and the Nephalem stand triumphant against a former Archangel with the power of all seven Evils in its grasp.

Hear me out -- what if Diablo 4 dropped with entirely new classes?

Last week we talked about Imperius, the Archangel of Valor and de factor head of the Angiris Council.

Before the coming of the Nephalem, Imperius was the unquestioned greatest warrior in all creation.

Yesterday, Heroes of the Storm released the final teaser for its upcoming Nexomania event as well as a well-received balance update to the live game.

Before we jump into things, I want to get this out of the way.

Lore -- the stories behind the games we play -- is why I play games at all.

We didn't get anything at Gamescom, but with the Necromancer proving popular I'm wondering if we'll see anything from the venerable Diablo franchise at this year's BlizzCon.
