Diablo is a dark fantasy-themed action role-playing game

Diablo 2 items is a dark fantasy-themed action role-playing game developed by Blizzard North and released by Blizzard Entertainment on January 2, 1997.

Set in the fictional Kingdom of Khanduras (located in the Diablo series fantasy world of Sanctuary), Diablo 2 items has the player take control of a lone hero as he or she battles to rid the world of the eponymous Lord of Terror. Beneath the town of Tristram, the player journeys through sixteen dungeon levels to ultimately come face to face with Diablo and his demon minions.

An expansion pack, entitled Diablo 2 items: Hellfire, was released in 1997, although it was not created by Blizzard Entertainment. This was followed by a true sequel, Diablo 2 items, in 2000, and a third game, Diablo III, was announced on June 28, 2008 at Blizzard's World Wide Invitational in Paris, France.
