That Blizzard likes to bring skins from their other titles into their games is not new. However, the current gathering in Diablo 4 is causing some players to draw a line.

What skins are we talking about? Starting from June 30th, 7:00 PM CEST, the collaboration with the hero shooter Overwatch in Diablo 4 will begin. This will also introduce a new reliquary where you can exchange collected currency for exclusive rewards:

  • Two emblems
  • A mount trophy
  • Three weapon skins
  • An armor color in Overwatch design
  • Kiriko’s fox spirit as a companion

Additionally, at 9:00 PM CEST on the same day, appropriate Overwatch skins will be available in the real money shop. And they are currently causing all sorts of discussions in the community.

“That looks like AI-generated trash”

Why are the skins dividing the community? In several threads on Reddit, the skins are currently being hotly debated. A prevailing sentiment is emerging, deeming them ugly and also too expensive. For instance, user 5hredder suggests that they look like they were generated by AI (via Reddit).

1bohy opens his thread with “Thank you, Blizzard, for breaking my immersion.” The new skins simply do not fit into the worldbuilding and aesthetics of Diablo and thus destroy the atmosphere.

Below, there are over 300 comments and more than 700 upvotes agreeing with him. However, there are also quite a few comments mentioning that there have been many collaborations in the past that also did not fit into the world of Diablo.

As moonblade89 notes: “Yes, I was just about to say, we draw the line here? Not at the literal damn Space Marine?”, referencing the crossover with the sci-fi strategy game Starcraft.

Others believe that one doesn’t have to wear or, let alone, buy them if they find them so ugly. However, there are surprisingly few voices in the comments expressing excitement for the crossover.
