The second game followed the storyline, which ended with the protagonist of the original game implanting Diablo's soulstone into his own forehead (it's implied that it was the warrior). Despite remaining at 640x480, it brought numerous gameplay improvements and was now broken into four acts, each with its own town and six quests per act (except Act 4, which had only three). The expansion pack, ''Lord of Destruction'', added 800x600 resolution, two new characters ([[Fragile Speedster|Assassin]] and [[The Beast Master|Druid]]) in addition to the original five ([[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Barbarian]], [[The Minion Master|Necromancer]], [[Action Girl|Amazon]], [[Hot Witch|Sorceress]] and [[Church Militant|Paladin]]) and added Act 5, in which, after defeating Mephisto and Diablo in the original game, the player confronted Baal, the last of the three Prime Evils.
 
 
The third game in the series, ''[[Diablo III]]'', was announced in June 2008 and was released on May 15th, 2012. Trailers for it are on Blizzard's homepage.
