You might have been under the idea that the Diablo series is only about clicking monsters and watching them die. The truth is… That it’s only mostly about that, Blizzard wants to pull more people into the lore of their dungeon crawler RPG with Diablo III: Book of Cain.
The book tells the story of Sanctuary – the world of Diablo – from the perspective of the series stalwart, Deckard Cain. The book is “designed to look like an in-world artifact from the Diablo universe” and chronicles “the eternal war that rages between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.” Furthermore, the book will contain artwork by “some of the world’s most renowned fantasy artists,” including Alan Lee, and Adrian Smith.
Diablo III: Book of Cain will be released in North America on December 13, with an international release planned for February 7.
