Hellfire's story doesn't fit into the continuity of D1-D2. Killing Diablo is still the conclusion. The new areas are just extras.
It's that same old love story: Mage summons demon. Mage can't control demon. Mage flees, dies; where he falls an organic "hive" develops. As the hero, your job is to kill the whole lot of 'em.
Meanwhile, a fourth character class (Monk) has answered the call to deal with the mounting problems in Tristram. Barbarian/Bard don't have backstories.
In any event, none of these happenings have any effect on D2.
