We dig deep into the narrative that’s courses through the heart of Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred, the upcoming second expansion for Blizzard’s popular action-RPG, in this new interview with Associate Game Director Zaven Haroutunian and Lead Narrative Designer Matt Burns.<\/p>\n

In the video above, find out what’s going on with Mephisto, Lilith, Lorath, and others. And if you’d like to watch some brand-new Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred gameplay while you’re here, check out the 21-minute gameplay video below showing off the expansion’s new Skovos region.<\/p>\n

We’ll have more on Lord of Hatred later this week as the launch approaches. In the meantime, if you’re interested in playing Lord of Hatred but it’s been a minute since you played Diablo 4, get caught up on the story before the second expansion is released. <\/p>\n
