Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred will see players return to Kurast, the capital city of the Nahantu region and home to the Witch Doctors and Spiritborn classes. This was the location Mephisto\u2019s army attacked in Diablo 2 before he was sent back to Hell. As Diablo 4 features a more open world than previous games, much of the Sanctuary\u2019s largest continent is already explorable in the game. However, the region of Kurast was locked and shrouded on the world map. Now that the DLC draws closer and releases in October, players are examining the shape of the map, along with footage from the DLC shown at the Spiritborn reveal, and believe they have identified where Kurast Docks will be. One posted on Reddit showing the world map next to a render of Kurast from Diablo 2: This led fans to feel a surge of nostalgia for the location and to get hyped about returning to Kurast many years later, in the game and real life. One player said: \u201cThis is going for be interesting because during the game a lot of the little \u201cdistricts\u201d on the d4 map are actually like whole-ass zones in other Diablo games. I liked seeing places I\u2019d been through in d3 like that in d4 just that little nudge of nostalgia\u201d. Others simply exclaimed they \u201ccan\u2019t wait\u201d or quoted classic dialogue from Diablo 2 such as: \u201cWelcome traveler. I hope you brought your wits with you, for sanity is in short supply here\u201d and \u201cDamnit, I told you all to leave me alone!\u201d Some fans were less enthused about returning to the complicated jungles of the region but were excited to see how it was recreated, saying: \u201cTbh, I find Kurast in D2 kinda depressing, and getting lost in its jungle was a headache. That aside, let\u2019s see how D4 will do Kurast in the upcoming expansion.\u201d Kurast was defended by the Iron Wolves in Diablo 2, who played a role in the fourth season\u2019s story of Diablo 4. The region was decimated sometime after this game, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see how it\u2019s changed in the Vessel of Hatred DLC \u2013 and what Mephisto has planned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diablo 4 fans get nostalgic after discovering classic location on map Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 4 players have found what they believe to be Kurast Docks on the Diablo 4 map, which has got them hyped for the DLC and nostalgic for Diablo 2.
