Overview
Diablo III launched in 2012 to record-breaking sales and a controversial reception — only to be redeemed by the Reaper of Souls expansion in 2014, which overhauled loot, introduced Adventure Mode, and transformed the game into a beloved entry in the franchise.
The Seasonal system, Greater Rifts, Paragon levels, and a rotating cast of class packs kept the game active for over a decade. Seven classes, endless builds, and the most polished gameplay loop in the series.
