Alright gamers, buckle up, because Blizzard, in their infinite wisdom (or lack thereof), has decided to grace us with a Diablo IV x Berserk crossover event! Yes, you heard that right. Get ready to shell out even MORE cash for cosmetics you didn’t ask for! And Diablo Immortal? Oh, that’s getting some love too, because, you know, predatory mobile games are totally the way to honor Kentaro Miura’s legacy. 🙄
So, apparently, Diablo IV and Diablo Immortal are now besties with Berserk, that dark and gritty manga that probably has nothing in common with the shiny, microtransaction-riddled world of modern Diablo. Prepare for Berserk-themed everything: cosmetics, mounts, weapons, and probably even a new way to get ripped off by Blizzard’s predatory monetization schemes. This is supposedly the first time in 29 years that Diablo has dared to collaborate with another IP. Wow, groundbreaking! Truly innovative! It only took them nearly three decades to figure out that slapping another franchise onto their game might make them even more money. 🤑
In Diablo IV, this “amazing” collaboration starts May 6th and lasts until the end of Season 8. You’ll be able to bash some elite monsters and trade Behelits (because that makes sense in Sanctuary) for themed cosmetics in the *Berserk* Reliquary. You can snag such totally awesome items as the Hawk’s Destiny back trophy (for that edgy look), Skull Knight Heraldry mount armor (because your horse needs to be even more intimidating), and the Brand of Sacrifice marking (so everyone knows you’re a tortured soul… or just really into anime). And if you collect all the rewards, you get the “Od of the Berserker” emblem. Because why not? Oh, and don’t forget to watch Twitch streams for a chance to get the Skull Behelit mount trophy. Gotta inflate those viewer numbers somehow! 📈
But wait, there’s more! You can also BUY the iconic outfits and mounts from the in-game shop between May 6th and June 5th. That’s right, fork over your hard-earned cash for the *Berserk* Bundle, which includes:
- Barbarian – The Berserker Armor (because nothing says “Barbarian” like dressing up as Guts).
- Rogue – The Hawk of Light (because Rogues needed to be even more annoying).
- Rogue – The Struggler (Two Rogue skins, are you kidding me? Class favoritism at its finest!).
- Necromancer – The Skull Knight (because edgy Necromancers are *so* original).
- Pet Bundle – The Schnoz (because who doesn’t want a giant nose following them around?).
- Mount and Mount Armor – Warhorse of the Hawk (because your horse needs to be as extra as possible). 🐴
Meanwhile, over in Diablo Immortal, the “Struggler’s Path” event runs from May 1st to May 30th. Prepare to fight Nosferatu Zodd (who?) and a harder version after using the Crimson Behelit Gem (whatever that is). And for the truly masochistic, you can enter the Eclipse and fight waves of enemies while being branded with the Sacrifice marking. Sounds like fun, right? Totally not a blatant attempt to drain your wallet! 💸
And of course, there are MORE items to earn in Diablo Immortal:
- Behelit Legendary Gem – Grants “Behelit Power” during desperate times. (Translation: a slightly better buff that you’ll still need to grind for hours to get).
- Golem Familiars – Your first Familiar summoned during the event. (Because who needs real friends when you have digital pets?).
- The Broken Band’s Armament – The Berserker Armor and Hawk of Light cosmetics. (Recycled content! How exciting!).
- Berserk Weapon Cosmetics – Eight skins, one for each class, including the Dragon Slayer greatsword. (Finally, something kinda cool… but probably locked behind a paywall).
But wait, there’s even MORE! You’ll also get login rewards during the event:
- 1x Struggler’s Path Weapon Cosmetic.
- Crimson Behelit Legendary Gem.
- Eclipse Portal Cosmetic.
- Eclipse Frame.
- 10x Legendary Crests. (Because you totally needed more ways to gamble for gems).
So, there you have it. Blizzard is desperately trying to inject some life (and more importantly, money) into their struggling franchises by slapping the Berserk IP on them. Will it work? Probably. Will it be worth it? Probably not. But hey, at least.
