Diablo IV x Berserk Collab: Black Swordsman Cosmetics and How to Get Them

Tuesday, April 22, 2025  sQren  

 

It’s not every day that a dark fantasy video game crosses swords with a legendary dark fantasy manga. Yet here we are—Diablo IV has teamed up with Berserk in a crossover that’s equal parts brutal, stylish, and deeply cursed (in a good way).

If you’ve ever wandered Sanctuary thinking, "This could use more rage-fueled revenge and massive iron slabs pretending to be swords," then Blizzard just read your diary.

A Match Made in Hell (Literally)

Let’s be real—Diablo and Berserk might have been separated at birth.
One gave us hellspawn and gothic despair; the other gave us Guts—arguably the angriest man ever to wear a cape and cleave a demon in half.

Now, thanks to this new crossover, Diablo IV is letting players channel the Black Swordsman himself, complete with cosmetics inspired by the Berserk universe.

Yes, there’s a cape. Yes, there's a giant sword. No, it’s not just cosplay—it’s a vibe.

What’s Included in the Diablo IV x Berserk Bundle?

Blizzard is calling this the Berserk: Black Swordsman cosmetic set, and it delivers exactly what it says on the tin:
a grim aesthetic that’s both practical for demon-slaying and emotionally unavailable.

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • 🗡 Black Swordsman Armor Set – For all five classes. Because everyone deserves to look like they haven’t slept in a decade.

  • 🧥 Cape of the Black Swordsman – No capes? Nah. This one stays.

  • 🐺 Shadow of the Hawk Mount – Think medieval murder-horse meets legendary lone wolf.

  • 🛡 Brand of Sacrifice Mount Trophy – For those who want to scream "I’ve seen things" without actually talking.

  • ⚔️ Behelit Pet – That’s right. You can now roam Sanctuary with a little egg-shaped harbinger of doom floating beside you.

It’s a full visual overhaul that’ll make you look like you’re starring in your own personal anime—minus the frame rate drops.

How to Get the Black Swordsman Set in Diablo IV

Getting the Berserk bundle is pretty straightforward. There’s no cryptic side quest or hellish grind. Just:

  1. Log into Diablo IV (or reinstall it if it’s been a minute).

  2. Head over to the in-game Shop.

  3. Navigate to the Featured tab.

  4. Look for the “Berserk: Black Swordsman” Bundle.

  5. Buy it with Platinum.

The price? 2,800 Platinum. That’s around $25 USD (give or take based on region), which is less than therapy and arguably more stylish.

Why This Collab Actually Makes Sense

This isn’t just Blizzard slapping a name on a cosmetic set. The DNA of Berserk is all over Diablo—brooding antiheroes, cursed artifacts, relentless monsters, and moral ambiguity so thick you could carve it with a Zweihander.

Guts could be a Diablo protagonist without changing a single character trait.
And let’s not forget—Diablo IV has leaned hard into gothic horror, trauma-heavy narratives, and armor that looks like it weighs more than your Steam library.
The Berserk crossover? It just… fits.

Will There Be More Diablo x Anime Crossovers?

Blizzard hasn’t announced anything beyond this, but now that the Pandora’s Box (or Behelit) has been opened, the possibilities are wild. Imagine:

  • A Claymore crossover? Yes, please.

  • A Castlevania-themed dungeon? We’d walk into that one willingly.

  • Full-on anime-style story cinematics? You just know someone in marketing is pitching that right now.

While nothing’s official beyond the Berserk bundle, it’s safe to say that Diablo IV is ready to embrace its inner manga villain arc—and we’re here for it.

The Legacy of Guts Lives On—Now in Diablo IV

Diablo IV x Berserk is more than a cool skin pack. It’s a fusion of two dark fantasy titans that share a love of bleak worlds, broken heroes, and swords you could use as bridges.

Whether you’re slicing through hordes of demons or just vibing in Kyovashad looking like a tortured legend, the Black Swordsman set gives you the aesthetic edge you didn’t know you needed.

And honestly? In a world where your inventory is constantly full of nightmares, it’s nice to look the part.

Final Verdict:
If Diablo IV was a grimdark opera, this crossover just handed you front-row seats and a flaming cape. Stylish, tragic, iconic—and yes, cursed in the best way.
