The '''story line''' of [[Diablo III]] is mostly unknown to us at this point. We know it takes place twenty years after a few powerful heroes saved [[Sanctuary]] from the demonic onslaught in [[Diablo II]].
Please note that information listed here are mixed [[canon]] details and speculation.
We know from the [http://www.diii.net/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=600 Diablo III cinematic] that a great comet of some importance is falling down on to the [[Tristram Cathedral]], and that some unlucky soul (if it's [[Leah]] or [[Deckard Cain|Cain]] isn't sure) is hit by it. [[Burning Hells|Hell's]] armies are amassing, and it isn't safe any more.
The story will focus more on the "two major demons[http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=737946][http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1017305p2.html] and the impending invasion of [[Sanctuary]]" rather than the homelands of individual [[character|character classes]]. We know [[Belial]] is in the game, most likely one of these two major [[demon]]s.
All characters are "new" characters bar the [[Barbarian]], who is the '''same''' character as in [[Diablo II]], only aged 20 years. At least one more class from Diablo II will also show up in the game, but it's not mentioned as a playable class.
"Several of the [[NPC]]s, from both the original Diablo and Diablo 2" will also return according to [[Jay Wilson]].[http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=737946]
