Finish the Fight

The demons of Hell overflow, tormenting Sanctuary as the Lord of Hatred carries out his quest to shatter mankind.

In this darkest hour, a beacon of hope emerges but Lilith herself is the only way to reach it. With the help of old friends and unlikely allies, you must rise against Mephisto before he reaches the Pools of Creation and bathes the world in hatred. Are you willing to risk it all for the fate of humanity?
