Diablo II: Once Upon a Time in Sanctuary
When I originally set out to make a 20 minute passion project for Diablo II, I had no idea it would evolve into this. Well, 350 hours later - here we are. This is the first time I've attempted to create a video like this and overall I feel pretty good about it. Please enjoy and feel free to drop a comment below sharing your nostalgic stories and memories for one of the greatest video games of all time!
Join me on an epic journey through gaming history as we explore the legendary tale of Diablo II - from its humble beginnings at Blizzard North to its enduring legacy that continues to shape gaming today. This nostaglic documentary delves deep into the heart of Sanctuary, examining the game's revolutionary impact on the ARPG genre, its timeless design principles, and the passionate community that keeps its spirit alive.
