Reaper of Souls will be the first expansion pack for Diablo 3 and was announced on the 21st August 2013 at
Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. It will introduce a sixth class, the
Crusader, a mid-range melee fighter that favours a sword and shield who is affiliated with the Diablo 2 Paladin. The new act,
Act V will include
Westmarch and
Pandemonium Fortress as well as other locations familiar to Diablo 2 players. The level cap will be raised to 70 and there will be changes to the
Loot and the
Paragon systems as well as major tweaks to skills of the existing five classes. There will also be new game modes introduced such as Loot Runs and Nephalem Trials. Players will ultimately have to defeat
Malthael who has seized the
Black Soulstone and returns as the Angel of Death. Reaper of Souls is due for release in 2014.
