Diablo 4's Berserk DLC costs $150 – Blizzard hasn't gotten the message.

Blizzard has outdone itself once again – and not in a good way. Berserk crossover DLC for Diablo 4 It's here, and anyone who thought Guts and company would receive a worthy tribute in the form of a gameplay event or perhaps even a story expansion will be sorely disappointed: there are only cosmetics. But not just any cosmetics – these cost a total of $150. No joke.

The bill, which from users on Reddit As written, it is as simple as it is painful: Four armor sets (2.800 Platinum each ≈ 25 dollars), a mount (also 2.800 Platinum) and a pet for "only" 2.500 Platinum. That makes a total of around $150. No bundle, no discount, no mercy.

You might think this is a marketing coup for hardcore fans. But it's actually a textbook example of greed. The collaboration with one of the most iconic manga franchises of all time – Berserk, which is known for its dark world, tragic depth and merciless violence – is here degraded to a mere opportunity to squeeze as much money as possible out of the community.

Guts would vomit.

This is particularly cynical when you consider that Berserk It is a work that speaks out against the abuse of power, corruption, and the betrayal of ideals. And now his legacy is being carried on in Diablo 4 It's been reduced to an overpriced parade of skins that offers absolutely no gameplay value. No new quest, no challenge, no event – ​​just a cosmetic price tag that is completely disproportionate to its performance.

And anyone who thinks you can at least earn the skins is sorely mistaken. Blizzard has long since transformed the "Games as a Service" principle into a "Games as a Storefront" philosophy. The pricing effectively forces players to buy the largest Platinum package for $149,99 – and of course, there's always some money left over. For what? Absolutely nothing. Welcome to the digital land of plenty for empty wallets.
