Diablo 4’s Witcher Collab Could Literally Only Work for One Class, Says CDPR
CD Projekt Red tied the cosmetic to a Battle.net pre-order, and players must buy The Witcher 3 expansion to unlock Geralt for Diablo 4.
- CD Projekt Red and Blizzard Entertainment announced a partnership bringing The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 to the Battle.net launcher, featuring a Geralt-themed Diablo 4 Barbarian skin available by pre-ordering Songs of the Past.
- During a '30 Years of Battle.net' panel at BlizzCon 2026, CDPR level design lead Miles Tost explained the Barbarian skin choice, citing the class's weapons expertise and tactical preparation that mirrors a Witcher's approach.
- Separately, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will cross over with Overwatch in 2027, with CDPR manager Amelia Korzycka noting the anime fits current trends as Edgerunners 2 approaches, though Blizzard product VP Andrew Guerrero teased future Cyberpunk 2077 collaboration possibilities.
- Players criticized the Battle.net exclusivity, with one user on X calling the requirement 'diabolical,' as critics argued the store-specific pre-order alienates those who already own titles or primarily play on Steam and consoles.
- CDPR confirms 'more is in the works' for the Diablo 4 collaboration in 2027, with the studio suggesting future content expansions depend on positive community response to these initial offerings.
