Blizzard Releases Official Diablo 4 Story Recap Video!

Blizzard just released a new Diablo 4 video recapping the game’s campaign so far. It is a perfect refresher for players wanting to catch up on where we left off before starting the next chapter with Vessel of Hatred!

The Story So Far

The base game mainly focused on the fight between Lilith and Inarius. Throughout the campaign, we witnessed Lilith’s quest to destroy her father, Mephisto, and an enraged Inarius trying to stop her at every turn. Things did not end well for either of them. Inarius met his end at Lilith’s hands, and we, the players, brought Lilith down in that unforgettable final battle. This video perfectly summarizes all the events that have unfolded throughout the story so far and is preparing us for the upcoming expansion, “Vessel of Hatred.”

The story follows a world on the brink of destruction. It highlights the twisted plans of Lilith and Inarius, the creators of Sanctuary. In the story of Diablo 4, your character is known as the wanderer, who is bonded to Lilith by demon blood and plays an important role in uncovering her twisted plot. Along the way, we meet important allies like Lorath, Donan, and Neyrelle who join the fight. Lilith’s ultimate plan is to consume the essence of her father, Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred, who is on the verge of being reborn in Hell. If she succeeds, all would be doomed.

Inarius and his Cathedral of Light also pursue Lilith, believing it is his destiny to kill her. Meanwhile, Mephisto, lurking in the shadows, manipulates events to protect himself. He sends a herald to assist the Wanderer in hunting down Lilith. Eventually, Neyrelle manages to imprison Mephisto, stripping Lilith of her power. In her final moments, Lilith warns of a dire future, leaving Neyrelle with the burden of dealing with Mephisto as the battle between Heaven, Hell, and humanity continues.

If you are new to Diablo 4 and plan on starting with the expansion, or if you just want to refresh your knowledge of the story before the campaign in Vessel of Hatred continues, this recap video is a definite “must-watch”!

Not the First Time

Blizzard has previously provided similar recap videos for World of Warcraft, such as the one for “The War Within,” which summarized important events leading up to that expansion. I think it is safe to say that we, the fans, really appreciate these efforts, and it’s great to see this trend continue with Diablo 4.
