Diablo 4's Berserk Event: A Pricey Skin Sales Tactic Revealed

Blizzard has announced the details of the first-ever cross-over event for Diablo IV, featuring the iconic Japanese anime and manga series, Berserk. Scheduled from May 6 to June 3, the collaboration provides players with a chance to earn unique Berserk-themed cosmetics but lacks much of the anticipated gameplay content. While players can collect event-specific armor and accessories, the main focus appears to be on purchasing cosmetic items in the in-game shop. Players can engage in elite enemy battles for a chance to obtain Behelits to exchange for limited-time items. Season 8: Belial’s Return, introducing new quests and a battle pass system, also kicks off alongside this event.

During the Diablo IV x Berserk event, players can earn unique cosmetics such as the Hawks Destiny Back Trophy, Skull Knight’s Heraldry Mount Armor, Brand of Sacrifice Marking, and Foretold Eclipse Headstone. Completing the collection rewards players with the Od of the Berserker Emblem as a bonus.

Diablo IV is an action RPG that continues the legacy of Blizzard's popular Diablo franchise, known for its dark fantasy setting and addictive hack-and-slash gameplay. Launched in June 2023, the game emphasizes both multiplayer and single-player modes and has garnered a dedicated player base due to its engaging lore and frequent updates. The collaboration with Berserk illustrates Blizzard's strategy of integrating iconic IPs to keep the game fresh and appealing to fans of both franchises.
