The upcoming Diablo 4 expansion, Lord of Hatred, has received its first official glimpse through a newly released lore book. The narrative follows the journey of Lorath, a key character from the base game, as he ventures to the Skovos Isles—a location previously unexplored in the main storyline. This expedition is detailed in the book Diablo 4: The Lost Horadrim, which serves as a prelude to the expansion's events.

This move suggests that the expansion will delve deeper into the game's mythology, potentially introducing new regions, enemies, and story arcs centered around the theme of hatred, a core element in the Diablo universe. Fans speculate that the Skovos Isles may hold secrets related to the Horadrim, an ancient order of mages, or could be tied to the return of Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred himself. The book's release marks the beginning of the marketing buildup for what is expected to be a major content update for Blizzard's action RPG.
