Diablo IV developer and publisher Blizzard Entertainment has released the live-action cinematic trailer for the game’s upcoming Vessel of Hatred expansion. The trailer showcases “Neyrelle’s treacherous journey into Nahantu and her struggle with the power of the Soulstone.” Directed by Jon Watts (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Far From Home, and No Way Home), the new trailer also features The Who’s Behind Blue Eyes covered by Latin Grammy Award-winning artist Camila Cabello.
“I’ve been playing Diablo since I was a teen and know the world really well, so when they asked me to direct the project, I was all in,” said Jon Watts. Camila Cabello added, “I’m so excited to bring ‘Behind Blue Eyes’ to Sanctuary in a fresh, new way. We took the brilliant lyrics of the original song and transformed it with the dark tones of Diablo. Not only is this song a classic and a perfect representation of what Neyrelle is going through in Vessel of Hatred, but it’s also a song that so many can identify with. Working with the Diablo team was a legendary experience, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear how we’ve reimagined a classic.”
“Vessel of Hatred invites you to step into a world full of darkness and intrigue, and we are thrilled to have collaborated with such extraordinary talents to bring that world to life,” said Rod Fergusson, general manager of Diablo. “With Watts’ exceptional direction and Cabello’s evocative vocals, the release of this cinematic is a harbinger of the adventure to come in Diablo IV’s first expansion.”
Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred launches worldwide on October 8, available on PC via Battle.net, Xbox Game Pass, and Steam; Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One; PlayStation 5; and PlayStation 4.
