"Lord of Hatred is the best Diablo 4 has ever been," Blizzard says

While Diablo 4 launched strong, perfectly blending the darkness of Diablo 2 with the flashy, fast-paced combat of Diablo 3, it's struggled to stick the landing. With challengers like Last Epoch and Path of Exile 2 providing better endgame experiences and stronger seasonal changes, Blizzard hasn't quite managed to stem the tides. But Lord of Hatred, the game's third expansion, hopes to change that. Closing out the Mephisto saga in style, it marks the end of an era for the seminal action RPG, but also the beginning of something new.
