Blizzard Entertainment has announced a “Race to 100” contest that challenges Diablo 4 players to reach level 100 in “hardcore mode” and earn the coveted “Tempered Champion” title. The first 1,000 players to achieve this impressive feat and provide proof via a tweet to Diablo will have their user name permanently engraved onto a physical statue of Lilith.

Hardcore mode in Diablo 4 is an unforgiving gameplay mode where death permanently deletes a character, adding an intense level of difficulty and risk. While the contest promises to test players’ mettle, it is expected to generate both excitement and inevitable moments of frustration.
The statue’s location has yet to be revealed. However, the Terms and Conditions of the contest specify that inappropriate or offensive BattleTags will be disqualified, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a respectful and appropriate online presence.

Blizzard’s creative marketing strategies for Diablo 4 extend beyond the contest itself. As part of the pre-release campaign, Lilith, one of the game’s central demon characters, is opening a chocolate shop in London. Visitors to the shop can indulge in the curious delight of consuming chocolate human skulls, offering a distinctively diabolical and immersive experience.
Additionally, the Diablo 4 marketing team, collaborating with acclaimed director Chloe Zhao, has released a live-action trailer that showcases the game’s dark atmosphere. With an emphasis on eye contact and an intense, serious tone, the trailer aims to captivate audiences and build anticipation for the upcoming release.
As Diablo 4 enthusiasts eagerly await the game’s Race to 100 contest, the combination of the hardcore contest, the sinister chocolate shop, and the captivating trailers add to the growing anticipation surrounding the next title. Players are willing to endure the grueling challenge, prove their mettle in the dangerous world, and have a chance to etch their BattleTags onto a physical statue forever.
