First shown at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France in 2008, this cinematic served as the announcement for Diablo 3. As such, it was the first pre-rendered content released for Diablo 3. However, much of the art, including the model for Leah, was later remade for The First Sign and the rest of the cinematics.
