Diablo 4 announces Berserk crossover that includes legendary manga’s iconic weapons
DexertoDiablo 4 just announced its first IP crossover of 2025 – and yes, it’s that Berserk, giant sword and all.
Berserk isn’t just another manga – it is the grimdark blueprint. Kentaro Miura’s magnum opus lives in shadow. Its blood-soaked pages, morally murky characters, and universe-wide nihilism redefined dark fantasy in manga.
You don’t read Berserk for hope. You read it to watch Guts carve through eldritch horrors, rage against fate, and suffer. And that’s exactly why it’s a perfect fit for Diablo. Blizzard’s hellspawned franchise thrives on dread, carnage, and cursed kingdoms.
Earlier this April, Diablo 4 showed off their official roadmap for 2025 & 2026. Over a week later, the Diablo 4 x Berserk crossover is official.
Diablo 4 and Berserk join forces in the most metal crossover dark fantasy fans could ask for
Blizzard confirmed it’s the first IP collab of 2025 with a trailer on X. And the trailer’s fine print confirms cosmetics are on the way.
Cosmetics inspired by Guts and his demonic enemies are on the way. Given Diablo 4’s monetization playbook, expect a mix – some gear will be earnable, but the flashiest pieces will likely sit behind a paywall.
While Blizzard hasn’t revealed what’s coming and when, Rod Fergusson teased that the Diablo x Berserk collab is one of the reasons he’s excited for Season 8, which comes out on April 29, 2025.
Diablo fans are betting on Guts’ massive Dragonslayer sword. Or maybe the Berserker Armor. Maybe a “Griffith as a world boss” situation? There’s a lot of potential here.
Reactions dropped fast and loud. One player shouted, “Yooooo this is awesome.”
Another posted, “Berserk and Diablo go together like PB&J.”
A hopeful comment read, “Looks amazing! I hope it’s more than just skins and has effects on monster appearance similar to events!”
Blizzard hasn’t confirmed full details, but the vibes are apocalyptic in the best way. This collab feels less like marketing fluff, more like destiny.
But Diablo 4 needs this kind of shot in the arm. After a bumpy year, this crossover could reset the tone. One thing’s clear: if Blizzard keeps pairing Diablo with icons like Berserk, hell might be worth the return trip.
