Diablo 4’s $150 Berserk Cosmetics Are Sparking More Rage Than Hell Itself

So, about that Diablo 4 x Berserk crossover you were hyped for? Yeah… unless you’ve got $150 in disposable income sitting around for cosmetics, you might want to sit this one out. And no, we’re not exaggerating—just the cosmetics, not a full DLC, not a bonus character, not even a side quest. Just armor, a mount, and a pet. And that’s what has fans losing their minds.

The “Free” Update That Wasn’t

Blizzard teased this Berserk-inspired content drop like it was the event of the year, framing it under their usual limited-time seasonal update umbrella. So naturally, players thought: cool, another free drop with some unlockables. But instead? Surprise! The content is locked behind a premium paywall, with zero bundle discounts and some frankly absurd pricing.

Let’s break it down:

• Each armor set runs between 2,500–2,800 Platinum
  
• Mount and pet: Also separately priced
  
• Total cost for the full Berserk bundle? 16,500 Platinum, or approximately $150 USD
  

You’d have to buy the largest Platinum pack (18,500) just to afford it all—and be left with a handful of in-game currency you can’t use anywhere meaningful. You know, just to twist the dagger.

Fans Are Not Having It

The community didn’t take long to react. Reddit lit up with pricing breakdowns and passionate posts detailing just how ridiculous it is to pay more than a full-priced AAA game’s worth… for a handful of skins.

Some players pointed out that for $150, they could buy three full games or an entire Steam sale haul. Others questioned the point of cosmetics in a game like Diablo 4, where the main visual is your enemy’s exploded corpse and not your outfit.

And let’s be honest—there’s no gameplay benefit here. It’s just bragging rights that allows you to flex that you just used spent a lot of money for next to nothing.

Not Blizzard’s First Cosmetic Controversy

This isn’t new territory. Diablo 4 has had several pricey premium packs before, and Diablo 3 wasn’t free of controversy either, especially with its real-money auction house. Let’s not forget that gem of a system, where people were shelling out actual dollars for virtual charms and gear until Blizzard pulled the plug.

Apparently, that lesson didn’t stick.

Final Thoughts

There’s still a lot to love in Diablo 4—Season 8 is rolling strong with class changes, new items, and more grind-heavy content. But Blizzard’s pricing strategy for cosmetics? It’s making even longtime fans question the cost of loyalty.

The Berserk crossover should’ve been a moment of hype, players excited to see two favored titles merged together! Instead, it’s become a cautionary tale in premium pricing—and possibly a sign of things to come as Blizzard gears up for the next major DLC in 2026.
