The opening cinematic for Diablo III debuted tonight at the Spike VGA awards, featuring the falling of more than one star and the passing of a torch from uncle to niece.
If you’ve been fortunate enough to play through the Diablo III beta, then you already know about the falling star. You’ve already met Deckard Cain’s neice, Leah, and you already know that it takes more than a fiery ball of death from the sky to do in the last of the Horadrim. For you guys, this is pure eye candy, and Blizzard does eye candy really well.
