Blizzard have been known for paying a lot of attention to the lore in their games, and it’s a tradition for the company to develop this part of their productions to quite the impressive level. “Diablo” in particular has been known for its exciting story ever since the very first installment in the series, and the next ones built on this trend even more. Blizzard actually have an official story guide with detailed information about the lore of all their games – and this was recently updated to include the most recent information about “Diablo 3” as well, specifically the expansion “Reaper of Souls”.
Players going through the guide will get to find out important details about the game’s plot, explaining what happened after Death arrived. Of course, it’s not a complete retelling of the story – it’s more of a general guide which players can use to remind themselves of major plot points, filling up the gaps on their own with information from the actual game.
This means that those who want to find out the full story will still have to play through “Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls” and pay attention to every line of dialogue. However, given how extensive the game’s storyline is, and how it can be difficult to go back to specific points of it (unlike with a movie or book), the story guide can serve as a nice reminder of what’s going on to those who have lost their track.
The development of “Diablo 3” seems far from over though. A few months ago, it was revealed that Blizzard are already planning a second expansion pack, although back then, the company had reportedly not started work on the new content yet. If this is true, then fans should probably not hold their breath for the new DLC to be released in the coming months.
It’s still possible that Blizzard may want to tease with information about it at some point though, especially if they have already entered the actual development stage. The company is known for hyping up their fans quite a long time in advance before a major release, so it won’t be anything out of the ordinary if at least hints about the upcoming DLC start coming out in a few months.
It’s not known what the new content will be about though, as Blizzard have really only hinted about the fact that they’re planning to develop it, nothing more. There are certainly lots of possibilities for continuing the story with the way “Reaper of Souls” left off, and in fact, fans have been claiming that it would be disappointing if Blizzard don’t realize this potential.
