Blizzard just gave players their first glimpse at the boss fight against Lilith in Diablo 4. While no one is surprised to see Lilith as a boss in Diablo 4, seeing actual footage from the battle itself is no less exciting to players looking forward to the action RPG.
Less than three weeks before Diablo 4's launch–and just over two weeks before early access begins–Blizzard has shared a launch trailer full of brand-new gameplay from the upcoming ARPG. Set to “You Should See Me In a Crown” by Billie Eilish, the new Diablo 4 footage shows off new portions of the game in a manner reminiscent of a blockbuster film.
Several of the enemies, locations, and bosses glimpsed in the trailer are familiar to players who participated in the Diablo 4 beta, but others were brand new. Massive flesh-priests, hordes of monsters across lava flows, and massive ogre-like demons battle the ill-fated heroes of Diablo 4. However, the star of the show is Lilith. While she unsurprisingly appears multiple times during the trailer, her in-game model can be seen using her signature crimson magic in what appears to be a temple at the 1:20 mark for a couple seconds. This could be the first glimpse at Lilith’s boss fight, or at least one of her major in-game appearances.
The short video shows off some of the abilities and Ultimate skills available to the classes in Diablo 4, as well as several awesome outfits created via its robust transmog system. Many of these abilities show off high-level techniques unavailable to players at the level 25 cap from the Diablo 4 beta. Several portions of the trailer also feature the customizable mount system in Diablo 4, including new footage of the special attacks characters can perform while mounted.
Some fans were caught off guard by Billie Eilish during the trailer. Most fans expected music from Diablo itself, and were surprised to hear a song from pop culture instead. That said, the lyrics of the track are surprisingly fitting for Lilith and her story in Diablo, so many were impressed by how well it went together–especially fans of both the artist and the game.
Early access for Diablo 4 is almost here. Players can dive into Sanctuary on June 2–four days before launch–if they pre-purchase a non-Standard Edition of Diablo 4. If this trailer is any indication of what awaits players in Diablo 4, they are in for an intense journey regardless of when they start playing.
Diablo 4 will be available June 6 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
