Overview
- Early reviews are broadly positive, with multiple outlets praising the campaign and systems and Metacritic showing a score of 82 on PC.
- The expansion centers on Mephisto and moves the story to the Skovos Isles for a focused, cinematic campaign that reviewers call engaging.
- Two playable classes arrive, the summoner-style Warlock and the shield-bearing Paladin, with Paladin having been available early to pre-order players.
- Progression and endgame see a redesign through War Plans, a queue that strings activities together with its own rewards, plus a loot filter, a new Talisman slot, and the Diablo II‑style Horadric Cube for crafting.
- Late-game additions include higher Torment tiers, updates to the Pit, and Echoing Hatred, a rare wave-based event triggered by an exceedingly scarce item, as Blizzard reiterates ongoing updates guided by long-term player feedback.
