Diablo 4: Lord Of Hatred Puts Badass Amazons Front And Center

Diablo 4: Lord Of Hatred Puts Badass Amazons Front And Center https://ift.tt/aKfo9Ay Diablo 4's next expansion, Lord of Hatred, is more than just another chapter in the Diablo universe. Since its release in back in 2023, Diablo 4 has told a singular story referred to as The Hatred Saga; as its events have unfolded, we've found our character, The Wanderer, at the center of a battle between Heaven, Hell, Sanctuary, and one extremely messy family. However, all of that is about to come to a close, as Lord of Hatred sees us reunite with the game's former antagonist, Lilith, in an epic showdown against Mephisto that will both explore Sanctuary's past and settle its future.

And better yet--it turns out that it actually was worth the wait, however hellish the road to this point may have seemed.

It wouldn't be completely accurate to call new Hellraiser a proper reboot--it doesn't attempt to retread any of the ground covered in either the original Clive Barker novella, The Hellbound Heart, or the original movie from 1986. The characters--barring one or two familiar-ish Cenobites--are brand-new, the story is brand-new, and the mythology of the world has been changed to benefit them. It's as much a "reboot" as any of the franchise's other installments (there are 10 of them--11 now, counting this one) that tossed out new characters and ideas without so much as a backwards glance to the story put forth across 1, 2 (and 6, kind of, if you want to get technical).
