Blizzard and CD Projekt reveal Geralt skin for Diablo 4 with Battle.net requirement

Diablo 4 The Witcher 3 Geralt skin Blizzard CD Projekt

Blizzard and CD Projekt have revealed a Geralt-themed skin for the Barbarian class in Diablo 4. However, the cosmetic item is tied to a specific requirement: players must preorder or purchase the The Witcher 3 expansion, “Songs of the Past,” via the Battle.net platform.

This requirement has drawn criticism from the gaming community, particularly from Steam users. While a remastered version of The Witcher 3 is scheduled for a free upgrade on Steam on September 29, 2026, the Geralt skin remains exclusive to Battle.net. Many players have expressed frustration at the prospect of having to purchase a second copy of a game they already own on other platforms simply to access the Diablo 4 content.
