Diablo III Black Soulstone Cinematic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlhWqmVeDno

As Deckard Cain's niece, Leah, struggles to make sense of her uncle's mysterious and disturbing notations, she bears witness to a dark vision. Azmodan, Lord of Sin, towers over the fragile young woman, swearing his armies of the burning Hells shall pour forth into Sanctuary, ravishing the world and all hope of resistance.

This cinematic game footage offers but a glimpse into the gritty, evolving story of Diablo III: http://battle.net/d3/

Something tells me Diablo isn't going to be happy Azmodan is trying to get all up in his business as ruler of hell.

Nice nice NICE video!

I'd like to see Azmodan face when Diablo will be back!

Ok Blizz, time to seriously plan for a Diablo movie.

Thanks for the coverage, it's very much appreciated!

The way Azmodan talks to her makes it seem like he is not talking to merely some tiny brunette. He sounds like he is talking to someone much more significant, powerful.
