"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.
