This story takes place after the events that occurred in Diablo I, on the lower floors of the Cathedral located within the town of Tristán, where he was defeated by an anonymous figure, The Lord of Terror.

Remaining there an object called soul stone, which inside protected the soul of the Devil, which the anonymous hero carries on his forehead, in a possible attempt to control the essence of the monster in his own body but without being able to achieve it in the end.

But all this that the anonymous hero did, was nothing more than the Devil's wishes to have an escape plan in case he was defeated.

During the second part of the Devil, the character of a veteran wanderer is revealed to a person he meets in a monastery, assuring him that he is the Archangel Tyrael.

All this history is transmitted by Deckard Cain to the adventurers who pass through the Harpies' Camp, so that they know it.

In this video game, the user will have to advance through four chapters, called acts, which will have to follow a path full of missions that must be completed in order to overcome the game. It should be noted that some of these missions are not mandatory, letting them pass without any negative results.

The player will be able to select between the five characters of the video game, Necromancer, Paladin, Amazon, Barbarian and Sorceress to assume the role of hero.

This video game offers players the opportunity for direct combat in real time or the option of hiring one or more mercenaries to attack enemies that are close to them.
