Diablo IV for PC is an online-only action role-playing game, the fourth main game in the Diablo series. This game makes you feel as though you are playing through a medieval city, and for the first time in the series, you can go up and down, as well as along. About the Game The game revives the world of Sanctuary, and takes place some 50 years after the events of the last main game, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. Lilith, the daughter of Mephisto, is the main antagonist and, in this game, she is able to grab a toe-hold in Sanctuary as the forces of both demons and angels have been reduced by the events of the previous games.

The Sanctuary inhabitants loathed the existence of the Nephalem and in the ensuing fight, Lilith was banished into the void. You play as the Wanderer, and the game begins with you being captured and drugged by villagers who are under Lilith’s spell. Your escape brings you into contact with Lorath Nahr (fans of the game will recognise the name from the last game) who explains the premise of the game and gets you set up with your first task. The story will then progress linearly, as you work your way along the storyline, with a lot of excitement and combat along the way.

There are some procedurally generated dungeons which will change each time you play both inside and out. The world is
