The short version
- At BlizzCon's opening ceremony, developer Blizzard said the season will be a tribute to three decades of Diablo, built around the return of Deckard Cain and a rematch against all three original Prime Evils: Diablo, Baal, and Mephisto.
- Cain's spirit returns to warn players that echoes of the three Prime Evils have resurfaced.
- Each one's holed up in a location familiar to those who've played the earlier games - Tristram Cathedral, Arreat Summit, the Durance of Hate.
What happened
Beat one and you get a Soul Splinter, which lets you borrow a bit of that demon's power. The catch is that it also makes you more vulnerable to that same demon.
Why it matters
Nine new Legacy Uniques also join the game permanently, including a returning Stone of Jordan, alongside a batch of enemy encounters called Waking Nightmares that recreate specific moments from Diablo's past.
