In the top left are the words PrePurchase Now And Instantly Unlock Paladin Early Access, & Vessel of Hatred. An image of Neyrelle clutching a glowing blue soulstone. Behind her lurks an undead wolf, his eyes illuminated. Besides the two of them is a Paladin, holding his sword and shield and bathed in gold glowing light. Beneath this are three boxes. The first box contains an image of a figure outstretched with mephisto’s face looming behind them. The text New Campaign: Face Mephisto is in white below this image. The second box contains an image of a Paladin, illuminated by the campfire light. Behind him a mysterious shadowy figure lurks. In white text reads New Campaign: Face Mephisto Text: 2 New Classes: Paladin and ??? The third box has an image of an ancient city with turquoise blue seas. In white text it reads New Region: Skovos. Beneath this section is a header in yellow text that reads: Major System & Itemization Updates with three boxes beneath. The first box is a magenta colored background with a cube of ancient runes inscribed on the sides. The text in white below reads: Horadric Cub. The next box shows a red cloudy background with an image of a circular rune system with 6 slots and 5 of them glowing with red energy. The white text reads: Talisman. The third box is an image of a complex skill tree with the white text: Bonus Skill Variants. The next yellow header line reads: New Endgame Features with three boxes below.

On the right corner there is yellow text that reads Pre-purchase and Instantly Unlock Ultimate Edition Rewards. Above this are images of a Paladin clad in ornate armor with the text reading Paladin Cosmetic Bundle. Besides this is an image of a dragon looking mount aglow with fire and embers with the text reading, New Basilisk Mount. Glowing brightly in a dark wooden chest are multiple coins that have overflowed to the ground below. The text reads: 3000 Platinum. Beneath this is an ornate dark silver box with the header text Permanent Updates Available For All. Light tan text reads Skill Tree Updates For All 8 Classes with an image of a Barbarian leveled to 70 illuminated brightly as he levels up.

Diablo II ("The Final Stand") artwork by fantasy artist Keith Parkinson (1958–2005). Love the story to this one! Due to scheduling problems this art probably shouldn't exist but Blizzard loved Keith's work and gave him the flexibility do it when he could www.keithparkinson.com/product/the-...
