All Hell breaks loose with Lilith
A key character in Diablo 4 will be Lilith, whose return to Sanctuary means blood, gore, and misery all around. Players must obtain powerful gear and hone their abilities to defeat the darkness.
“An old legend has it that Sanctuary was created by the union of an angel and a demon, and that their descendants—humanity—built villages, then cities and empires, spreading across the land to form the world’s cultures and civilization,” according to Blizzard’s Diablo 4 lore.

Lilith is also the daughter of Lord of Hatred Mephisto. Her return and mere presence usher in a new wave of worshippers and cultists.
