Sanctuary expands to the vast region of Nahantu, beckoning you forth. Wanderers of yore may recall echoes of Nahantu in Diablo II.
Experience everything from forgotten ruins to new Towns and take on new dungeons, Strongholds, and the warring tribes scattered throughout the region. Will you survive amongst the hellish overgrowth of Kurast or the barren desert plains of Teganze?
Experience the next Dark Chapter of the Main Campaign
Prepare for the next riveting chapter in the main story of Diablo IV. Starting where she last left us, the search for Neyrelle takes you deep into the ancient jungle as she grapples with the imprisoned Prime Evil.

The fate of Neyrelle’s soul–and her ability to stop this Prime Evil from destroying Sanctuary–rests in your hands.
