The transient teaser retains the extent of the crossover near its chest, nevertheless it a minimum of confirms that Rise of Darkness will contain the Tristram Cathedral remaining level in Blizzard World, a map launched in 2018 that options completely different sections devoted to developer Blizzard’s myriad franchises. Humanoid Omnic bots hover among the many desolate brick, alongside which one among Diablo’s red portals has stretched open.
Hero Wrecking Ball’s sometimes chrome-colored shell rolls by, adorned in black, purple, and gold, which is extra suited to Diablo’s fireplace and brimstone. However the true showstopper is help character Moira, whose Lilith skin is a stylized model of the Diablo IV demoness’s instantly recognizable regalia. Moira ditches her typical cybergoth bodysuit to, like the unique Lilth, get topped with twisted goat horns, ridged, reptilian eyebrows, and black lipstick. Her normal black-and-purple coloration palette is retained, although, in a V-neck outfit topped with gnarled shoulder pads. In different phrases, as one Reddit commenter put it, she is “mothering laborious.”

Overwatch, too, has had a current collaboration with One Punch Man in addition to a Star Wars-inspired occasion.
