Although Kentaro Miura is no longer with us, the legacy he left behind through Berserk is undeniable, leaving an indelible mark on the world of media. Dark, brutal, and beautiful, Berserk remains a fantasy masterpiece that not only lingers in the minds of its fans but also inspires the creation of similar works across various media, including video games. It makes sense then that Berserk is set to cross over to the world of action roleplaying games through a special collaboration with Blizzard’s popular franchise, Diablo.
After weeks of teasing, Blizzard has officially revealed more details about the collaboration event between Berserk and two of its games: Diablo IV and Diablo Immortal. This limited-time event will run from May 1 to 30 for Diablo Immortal, and from May 6 until the end of Season 8 for Diablo IV.
In Diablo IV, the collab will focus on Berserk-themed cosmetic items that players can collect and equip. During the event, players will be able to acquire a new resource called Behelits by defeating powerful enemies. These Behelits can be exchanged at the Berserk Reliquary for exclusive cosmetics such as the Hawk’s Destiny Back Trophy, Skull Knight’s Heraldry Mount Armor, and the Brand of Sacrifice Marking. Collecting all of these items will reward players with an additional cosmetic: the Od of the Berserker Emblem.
For players seeking an even deeper Berserk experience, additional themed cosmetics will be available for purchase in the in-game shop. These include the Berserker Armor for the Barbarian class, Hawk of Light and The Struggler for the Rogue, and The Skull Knight set for the Necromancer. A unique pet named The Schnoz will also be available.
In Diablo Immortal, players will face off against one of Berserk‘s most iconic enemies — Nosferatu Zodd. The boss battle will feature dynamic difficulty scaling and offer a variety of rewards, including cosmetics, crests, and weapons. A new dimension called The Eclipse will also be introduced, plunging players into battles against hordes who bring doom to the Band of the Hawk.
Blizzard’s latest crossover not only honors Miura’s legacy but also brings fans of both Berserk and Diablo a unique and immersive experience that blends two dark fantasy titans into one unforgettable event.
