Diablo 4 Announces StarCraft Crossover

Diablo 4 has officially revealed its Season 10 collaboration event will be with StarCraft, featuring free weapon transmogs, a new Twitch Drop, and shop cosmetics inspired by Kerrigan, Jim Raynor, and other characters from the Koprulu Sector. This collaboration between Blizzard’s iconic sci-fi RTS and Diablo 4 starts September 26 and runs through October 10.

Season 10 of Diablo 4 is officially live, bringing with it some game-changing content, including Chaos Armor, Chaos Rifts, and Chaos Perks. However, for many players, one of the most exciting parts of this new season was that it would contain Diablo 4’s next IP collaboration.

Diablo 4 StarCraft Collaboration Highlights

Now, Diablo 4 has officially revealed that this crossover will be with one of its own franchises. The Diablo 4 StarCraft collab kicks off on September 26, bringing with it some fantastic new cosmetics to collect. The headlining features of this crossover are in the cash shop, where fans can get a slew of premium cosmetics designed after several iconic StarCraft characters: Jim Raynor for Barbarians, Infested Tychus for Druids, Zagara for Necromancers, Zeratul for Rogues, Tassadar for Sorcerers, and Kerrigan for Spiritborn. Beyond these sets, players can get a Zergling Mount, a Hydralisk Companion, and several Mount customizations, and an Emblem.

From September 26 until October 10

Twitch Drops

Terran, Protoss, and Zerg Emblems

That said, some of the items available through this collaboration will be completely free. Fans can collect a Terran, Protoss, and Zerg-themed Emblem and weapon transmog from the shop for free, with each pair becoming available on each of the first three days of the event. Once added, these will be available to claim until the end of the StarCraft collab on October 10.

There will also be a new Diablo 4 Twitch Drop campaign to celebrate this collab as well. During the event period, players who watch up to six hours of any Diablo 4 streamer on Twitch will earn Emblems bearing the symbols of each StarCraft faction for free. This also explains why Diablo 4’s ongoing Season 10 Twitch Drop campaign is so short, as it had to make room for the collaboration.

Exciting as this new crossover is, it seems noteworthy that the Diablo 4 x StarCraft event is not an external IP collaboration. After the Berserk crossover in Season 8, many fans expected the Season 10 collab to likewise be with a franchise outside of Blizzard – especially since Diablo 4 has already gotten World of Warcraft cash shop skins in the past. It seems like gamers may have to wait a little longer for another non-Blizzard IP to make its way to Sanctuary.
