The book is designed to look like an in-world artifact from the Diablo universe. It tells the story of the rise of the Zakarum, the traditions of the Horadrim, the genesis and geography of Sanctuary, and the key moments in the world’s history, such as the destruction of Tristram, that set the stage for the events of Diablo III. In the book you’ll find dozens of sketches, Cain’s footnotes, and a hand-drawn map of Sanctuary.
The English version of Book of Cain will arrive on the 13th December, while other localized versions will be released on the 7th February worldwide.
