Diablo 4’s Witcher Collab Could Literally Only Work for One Class, Says CDPR
Polygon.com • • technology
Key Points:
- CD Projekt Red and Blizzard announced a Geralt-themed Barbarian skin for Diablo 4 at BlizzCon, with the choice of the Barbarian class reflecting Geralt's physical prowess and weapon expertise rather than magic use.
- The Barbarian's arsenal system was seen as analogous to a Witcher's need for preparation and choosing the right tools for different situations, aligning well with Geralt's character.
- Pre-orders for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's expansion Songs of the Past on Battle.net will include the Geralt-themed skin, with more Diablo 4 collaboration content planned for 2027.
- Overwatch will feature cosmetic skins based on characters from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and its sequel, rather than Cyberpunk 2077 itself, due to the upcoming release of Edgerunners 2 and strong fan demand for this anime-based crossover.
- Both CD Projekt Red and Blizzard hinted that a future Cyberpunk 2077-themed collaboration with Overwatch is possible, depending on player response to the Edgerunners content.
