Blizzard officially launched the Diablo 4 x Doom: The Dark Ages crossover yesterday, March 11, 2026. This major event coincides perfectly with the start of Season 12, known as the ‘Season of Slaughter’.
Free Event Rewards & Season 12 Updates
Season 12 brings significant updates to the action-RPG. The season introduces new unique Bloodied items and a brand-new Killstreak power. Furthermore, the game now lets players temporarily transform into The Butcher. Players can also test the new Lord of Hatred expansion class, the Paladin, for free up to level 25.
For the crossover itself, players can now access the Event Reliquary. It holds 10 earnable cosmetic rewards. For instance, you can turn a regular shield into Doom’s ‘Shield Saw’ or transform a melee weapon into the ‘Slayer Flail’. You unlock these rewards using ‘Dark Ages’ currency. You farm this currency simply by killing Elite and Champion monsters.
Unlocking all 10 rewards grants you the Forsaken Gates Town portal. Additionally, Lair Bosses now have a chance to drop a ‘Doom Chest’. These chests contain existing Unique weapons reskinned as Doom’s Crucible blade.
Players can also claim free emblems at 12:00 PM PT / 12:00 AM PKT on specific dates. The Dark Before Dawn emblem dropped yesterday, March 11 PT / March 12 PKT. On March 13 PT / March 14 PKT, players can grab the Grandeur of the Gutted emblem. Finally, players can claim the Rip and Tear emblem on March 15 PT / March 16 PKT.
Diablo 4 x Doom: Premium Shop Content & Pricing
The premium Shop content drops on March 12 at 12:00 PM PT / March 13 at 12:00 AM PKT. Importantly, the Praetor armor skins are class-specific. They are not universal.
The massive Doom Slayer Armor Pack covers all seven classes for 5,700 Platinum ($49.99). Meanwhile, individual class Praetor Skins cost 2,500 Platinum (~$24.99) each.
The King of the Forge-Wing Bundle costs 2,800 Platinum ($24.99). This specific bundle includes the Mecha Dragon Serrat mount skin, which only works on the cat mount. You can also buy The Cyclopean Cackle Bundle and the Souls of the Lost Bundle for 2,500 Platinum (~$24.99) each. Finally, Blizzard confirmed a Cacodemon pet, but the studio has not announced its official price yet.
Historical Pricing Backlash
This crossover mirrors the exact pricing model of the Berserk crossover from May 2025. Fans heavily praised the detailed cosmetics during that event. However, Blizzard faced massive backlash over the $25 per class and mount skin pricing. Ultimately, acquiring everything cost players around $150.
