01 / About the game

Why do we keep coming back?

One drop can change the whole plan. Lord of Destruction adds the Assassin and Druid to the original five classes; runes and character builds keep giving you reasons to experiment.

Game world

Sanctuary: a long road into the dark

Diablo II moves between towns, dangerous regions and tougher encounters. Amazon, Barbarian, Necromancer, Paladin and Sorceress offer different styles; Lord of Destruction adds Assassin and Druid. The real story is how your character grows through the choices you make.
