Diablo 4's Geralt Barbarian Skin Revealed, but There's a Preorder Catch

CD Projekt and Blizzard have pulled back the curtain on a highly anticipated crossover, revealing a Geralt of Rivia-themed Barbarian skin coming to Diablo 4. The cosmetic draws directly from The Witcher 3, dressing the brawny Barbarian class in the iconic look of everyone's favorite monster hunter. It's a striking mashup of two beloved dark-fantasy worlds, and the first official images suggest the skin translates Geralt's signature aesthetic surprisingly well onto Diablo 4's bruising melee class.

There is, however, a significant catch. Players who want to get their hands on the skin will need to preorder the new expansion for The Witcher 3, tying the reward to a purchase rather than making it a standalone or earnable in-game item. This kind of cross-promotional preorder incentive is likely to draw mixed reactions from fans, particularly those who are interested in only one of the two games involved.
