The countdown to an exciting new chapter in the Diablo universe has begun. Blizzard has officially announced that both Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal will soon feature a crossover with the legendary Berserk series. While exact details are still under wraps, it’s likely that players can expect some thrilling Guts-themed cosmetics to become available across both the main game and its mobile counterpart.
Recently, Diablo 4 rolled out a roadmap outlining new seasons planned for release throughout 2025. Although some fans expressed dissatisfaction with the roadmap’s details, the buzz around two imminent collaborations sparked intrigue. What kind of crossovers could Diablo 4 be brewing?
Well, the first of these mysterious crossovers has been unveiled, and it’s double the excitement since it spans both Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal. The Berserk universe is about to collide with Sanctuary, as hinted in a teaser where a Barbarian dons Guts’s Berserker armor and brandishes the fearsome Dragon Slayer sword against hordes of demons. The animated teaser, shared across social media platforms for both games, confirms that Berserk will indeed make an entrance into the Diablo world.
Berserk, the brainchild of the late Kentaro Miura, has captivated audiences with its gripping dark fantasy narrative since 1988. Despite Miura’s passing in 2021, the series has continued to evolve, thanks to his friend and colleague, Kouji Mori. Berserk’s legacy includes not only manga but also anime adaptations, movies, several video games, a novel, a card game, and prior game collaborations, as seen with Dragon’s Dogma. Given Berserk’s thematic and atmospheric alignment with Diablo’s dark world, a partnership was seemingly destined.
The specifics of the Berserk crossover are still unfolding. While neither Diablo 4 nor Diablo Immortal have paired with an external property like this before (past crossovers were within the Blizzard ecosystem, like with World of Warcraft), speculation is rife. Diablo 4’s previous WoW crossover focused on cash shop cosmetics, whereas Diablo Immortal offered an array of unique in-game activities, including distinctive challenges and earnable rewards. For Berserk, it seems safe to expect players might secure Guts’ formidable weapon and armor, based on the teaser.
As for a release date, we’re looking at Diablo 4’s Season 8 kicking off on April 29 and running until July, potentially placing the crossover event around May or June. More details should emerge as we approach those months, so fans—brace yourselves for some amazing surprises ahead!
