Diablo 4 is set to have more collaborations, and the community reacted skeptically to the upcoming partnership with Berserk. Now Blizzard shows what fans can expect there – and much can be unlocked in the game.
What was the concern? The announcement of the collaboration with the dark cult manga Berserk, which inspired Dark Souls among others, raised skepticism among fans. Many felt that if the event is only meant to sell expensive skins, they could do without it. Cosmetics in Diablo 4 are sometimes absurdly priced, and if this is similar, many would prefer to forgo the skins.
In a blog post, Blizzard now reveals more about the first collaboration with a non-Blizzard IP. While there will be paid skins, you can also earn cosmetics by slaying monsters. This starts on May 6, 2025 – exactly one week after the start of Season 8.
Slaying monsters – Unlocking cosmetics
What the collaboration brings: With the event, three types of rewards are coming into the game – and at least one of them can be secured entirely without real money:
- Free cosmetics that you earn by defeating elite enemies and collecting so-called “Behelithe”.
- Paid skins in Tejal’s shop.
- Cosmetic two-handed sword “Curse of the Rawling” as a Twitch Drop for watching a Diablo 4 stream.
- Mount trophy “Skull Behelith” as a Twitch Drop as part of a “Support a Streamer” initiative – as a reward for a paid subscription on a Twitch channel.
- Exact details on the Twitch Drops can be found at Blizzard.
How do I get the free cosmetics? According to Blizzard, there is a chance to find “dark Behelithe” when defeating elite enemies – egg-shaped creatures that you can trade for Berserk-style cosmetics.
With the overhaul of the Battle Pass, there will be so-called “Reliquaries” in Diablo 4 starting with Season 8. Reliquaries are different categories from which you can select loot. In the Berserk Reliquary, you will then claim the cosmetics. These include:
- Back trophy “Fate of the Falcon”
- Mount armor “The Crest of the Skull Knight”
- Painting “Brand of the Sacrifice”
- Tombstone “Predicted Darkness”
- Emblem “Ode of the Berserker” (if you have unlocked all other items)
When will I receive the Berserk cosmetics? The Berserk collaboration runs from May 6, 2025, to June 3, 2025. So you have four weeks to slay elite enemies, farm “dark Behelithe”, and unlock the cosmetics.
The Berserk event is the first major collaboration of Diablo 4 with an external IP. Previously, there were crossovers with its own franchises such as World of Warcraft. According to the roadmap, more collaborations are planned for the future. Which IP will come in winter 2025 remains a secret.
