We’re officially in the march towards the end of 2025. In Diablo 4 terms, we’re in the early days of the launch of the game’s last season of the year. Though much of Season 10 itself has been a known quantity for a while, there was one mystery still to be revealed.
I’m talking, of course, about the final collaboration event, which we knew would take place during Season 10. Blizzard has now officially revealed which IP is going to be crossing over with the world of Diablo 4.
The Diablo 4 roadmap promised two cross-over events. The first was with Berserk, and now the second – and final – collaboration event has been officially announced. Unlike the first one, this one is going to be with a Blizzard franchise: StarCraft. It’s kicking off this evening and will run until October 10.
Strangely, however, there’s no gameplay component to this one, or a separate Reliquary (battle pass). StarCraft’s factions won’t be invading Sanctuary or anything. Instead, it’s mainly an opportunity to sell expensive cosmetics, which went over well last time.
If you’re fine parting with your money, you can get your hands on StarCraft-inspired cosmetics for each of Diablo 4’s classes. You can make your character look like The Queen of Blades (Kerrigan), Mengsk, Zagara, Jim Raynor, Tassadar or Zeratul.
There’s also a mount bundle that lets you ride around a Zergling, or have a different Zerg as a pet. Prices haven’t been announced for any of these items, but expect each skin to cost around $20 at minimum.

There’s a set of free items, too, which you’ll also find in the in-game store. That’s three emblems, and three weapon cosmetics for the mace, two-handed polearm, and the two-handed crossbow. The free gifts will roll out daily, starting today until September 28. You will, however, be able to claim them for the entire runtime of the event.
Alongside the main event, there’s also a Twitch Drops promotion that will be available at the same time: September 26 – October 10. Watching any Twitch streamer in the Diablo 4 category (who has Drops enabled) will earn you three emblems. You get the first one after watching for two hours, the second after four hours, and the third when you accumulate six hours of watch time within that window.
And that’s about it for this one. One could only hope Blizzard’s next attempt at a Diablo 4 cross-over event will have more soul to it.
