Alright, Diablo IV fans and Berserk stans, lock down, as Blizzard pulled a collab nobody expected but that everyone is going to freak out over. The latest tweet by the Diablo IV team precisely reveals the newest in-game pet based on-there goes-the dark fantasy manga that is, Beastropolis. That is that! Chimimoryo is now available as a pet, and just like you’d want from a Berserk crossover, this pet looks gloriously edgy.
So, what does this little spawn of unmitigated nightmare do? Chimimoryo, if you are not fully clicked into Berserk lore, is that creepy little thing that appears here and there in the series, mostly around Griffith or the God Hand. It just has that creepy devious thing going on, like-it-is-judging-your-life-choices-while-whispering-dark-secrets vibe. Honestly, fits every bit of Diablo IV. The tweet boasts of “This guy 👃 how to have a bloody good time,” which is honestly top-tier Berserk energy.
How might one get a hold of one? Easy: simply log into Diablo IV and purchase it from the in-game store. No drama with some complicated quest lines or grind (and grinding is half the fun in Diablo, anyway). The pet’s official name is “Chimimoryo @berserk_project pet,” which is a bit of a mouthful, but hey, when has Berserk ever done anything simple?
The timing is interesting, too. Diablo intends to keep growing around seasonal content, while the fanbase of Berserk will go well into millions. This feels like a smart move of pulling in an even bigger number of possible players that might miss starting on it. Plus, this really takes a good shot at connecting the Showtime-series dark and gritty vibes, doesn’t it?
Social media is popping with excitement, with some saying this is the greatest crossover since peanut butter met jelly, while other jokes about living out their fantasy of being Guts… well, with a little demonic sidekick maybe.
And listen to this hashtag cranker-#Berserk and #ベルセルク (that’s “Berserk” in Japanese if you have no clue). Blizzard has set its sights high for global appeal here—tapping into both the Western and Japanese fanbase. A shrewd move, considering how far-reaching the influence of Berserk already is.
So yeah, if you play Diablo IV and are even remotely a Berserk fan, then that is a no-brainer for you. The Chimimoryo pet is live now, and nobody knows how long it will remain. Knowing Blizzard, it might be gone in less time than it takes to gulp down a health potion in Hardcore mode.
To recap: blood, demons, and a nightmare creature trailing beside you? We are in. This collab is everything we didn’t know we wanted, and we wholeheartedly endorse it. Now if you’ll excuse us, we’ve got a pet to snag and a whole lot of demons to slay. Happy grinding, guys.
