Lilith will appear in Diablo IV. Players pursue her across the game’s storyline, and the feud between she and Inarius is one of the game’s key plot points. The main villain of Diablo 4, Mephisto’s daughter has been resurrected to spread misery.
To make Diablo 4 feel fresh, Blizzard didn’t want to immediately bring Diablo back, so they’ve used another key figure in Diablo lore as the game’s archvillain: Lilith. Diablo will likely return at some point in the game’s storyline, but at least for the first chapters, the focus will be on Lilith.
Similar to Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, Lilith is known by many names (and events) in Diablo’s lore:
In the mythos of Sanctuary, Lilith is the mother of humanity. She represents the demonic half that we all have inside our hearts. She and the angel Inarius, along with other rebel angels and demons, tired of this endless great conflict, created a world that’d be free of conflict, called Sanctuary. Along with that, they created the first morals. The scary part of that is she knows our hearts and what motivates and manipulates us. The other scary part: she’s Mephisto’s daughter. She represents a link to an even greater threat and greater evils. Even though she was summoned for reasons we’re not ready to divulge, we know it can’t be good.
Other than featuring Lilith in prerendered cinematics and marketing material for Diablo 4, Blizzard hasn’t revealed much about her abilities and location as a (fightable) boss. That said, 2019’s BlizzCon Diablo 4 announcement trailer focuses on the summoning of Lilith to Sanctuary. In it, treasure hunters are searching ancient ruins in the Kehjistan region and are killed and used as a blood sacrifice by fanatic members of the Triune faith to resurrect Lilith. We still don’t know if Kehjistan is where you’ll interact with Lilith in the game.
