Diablo 4’s Berserk Crossover DLC Costs an Insane $150

Berserk has landed in Diablo 4, and boy oh boy is it going to make headlines.

Blizzard’s been teasing this crossover for weeks now, with previous press releases confirming that the coolest stuff would be locked within the game’s premium cosmetics shop. However, it’s the eye-watering price tags that are causing a stir.

Let’s break it down (with thanks to Reddit user HilltopHood). In total, there are six different cosmetic packs up for grabs. Four of them are iconic Berserk-themed outfits, one’s a new mount, and the last unlocks a pet. There’s no bundle that gathers all of these packs together at a discounted price.

The class-specific outfits are going for 2,800 Platinum (Diablo 4’s premium currency), which equates to $24.99. So if you want Guts’ Berserker armour for your Barbarian, Guts’ Struggler armour and Griffith’s armour for your Rogue, and Skull Knight’s armour for your Necromancer, you’re looking at just under $100.

Throw the Warhorse mount into the deal (another 2,800 Platinum), along with The Schnoz pet (a slightly lower 2,500 Platinum), and you’re forking over close to $150, because there’s no currency ‘microtransaction’ between a meagre 1,000 Platinum and 2,800 Platinum.

And so, the cheapest way to buy all of the Berserk stuff is to stump up the full $149.99 for the game’s largest amount of Platinum — 18,500 — which leaves you with 2,000 Platinum left over once all of the Berserk packs are purchased.

Let’s face it, we all knew these cosmetics wouldn’t be cheap… but $150 for the lot? Unleash your inner Guts in the comments section below.

This incredibly sucks. I still don’t get how they don’t understand you’ll make more money if it were cheaper.

As someone who has followed berserk intently since the late 90’s… I would rather die. Blizzard is beyond out of touch at this point.

Blizzard have been smoking something, this is absolutely ridiculous and the IP holders of Berserk should be ashamed to have their name associated with them. If this is the way forward for Blizzards ten year plan then they deserve to lose their playerbase, it makes me want to throw my copy of Diablo 4 out the window and I’m not even playing the game.
