Experience the Original Diablo on Battle.net Shop - Embrace the Lord of Chaos

January 30, 2024 4 minutes

Welcome to the world of Sanctuary, a place with a long and dark history filled with horror. It all began in the small town of Tristram, where a once holy place, the Cathedral, held secrets untold. Now, the original game that introduced us to this nightmarish world is making a triumphant return. Diablo, released in 1997, is now available on the Battle.net store. But that's not all—its incredible expansion, Hellfire, is also making an appearance, allowing players to experience the game in new and exciting ways. It's time to journey back to where it all began and scratch that old-school dungeon diving itch.

The Return of Diablo

Evil has a way of lingering, and beneath the cathedral of Tristram, a Prime Evil grows in strength. The townsfolk are terrorized, praying for a hero to descend into the darkness, avenge their fallen friends, save Tristram, and destroy the demonic menace. Will you answer the call?

This release of Diablo on the Battle.net shop allows players to return to the 1997 classic that launched one of gaming's most enduring action-RPG franchises. Choose from three iconic character classes: the mighty Warrior, the agile Rogue, or the spellcasting Sorcerer. With randomly generated dungeon layouts and 16 levels of old-school dungeon delving, each playthrough offers a fresh and challenging experience.

Embrace the nostalgia as you liberate powerful weapons and armor from defeated enemies, upgrading your character's arsenal along the way. And what's a Diablo game without the thrill of multiplayer demon slaying? Team up with up to three other players to drive the demons back to Hell together.

  • Features:

  • 16 levels of old-school dungeon delving
  • Three iconic character classes: Warrior, Rogue, and Sorcerer
  • Multiplayer demon slaying
  • Tons of randomly rolled loot
