Diablo fans are scratching their heads over the timeline placement of the game, uncertain if it occurs before Diablo 1 or after Diablo 3. The confusion is real, folks.
Summary

- The general consensus seems to be that Diablo 4 takes place around 50-60 years after Diablo 3.
The Confusion Continues
Some players believe the timeline goes from Diablo 1, to a year or two until Diablo 2, followed by 20 years until Diablo 3, and finally another 40-50 years until Diablo 4. This theory aligns the games in sequence while spacing them out over decades.
