It's been nearly three years since Diablo 4 first launched, and our five-star Diablo 4 review goes to show this hack and slash is a return to form and then some.With no sign of slowing down, its second expansion is about to burst onto the scene like loot flying from a chest. Releasing on April 28, it invites players to journey to the islands of Skovos for the first time in Diablo's history. This realm, a panoply of rainforest and volcanic areas, was first mentioned back in Diablo 2, as the homeland of the Amazon warrior, but we've never got to go there until now.
What awaits us when we make landfall on these islands? Our very own Editor-in-Chief, Josh West, got a chance to sit down with narrative designers Matt Burns and Eleni Rivera-Colon and figure out what the Lord of Hatred, Mephisto, has in store for us. The previous expansion, Vessel of Hatred, focused on Mephisto's imprisonment in a soulstone, but things have gone awry and he's now able to unleash his horrific will on the world once again after taking over the body of Arakat.
