If you want an example of how gothic and devilish gaming can get, look no further than Diablo 4. The recent installment in Blizzard’s celebrated action-RPG series is literally collecting blood, with some potential hardware to come from it.
A recent video on the Diablo YouTube channel invites players to donate blood (presumably their own) to their local clinic. In doing so, rewards will be on offer. From donating blood.
To take that a step further, the studio is also looking to put together a custom PC that’s liquid cooled by 666 quarters of real human blood. Anyone interested in taking part will need to show proof of their donation before the end of November 20.
Developers literally asking for a blood sacrifice
A website set up by the Diablo 4 team gives further details about the publicity stunt. According to the FAQ, you don’t technically have to donate in order to get the rewards. This is simply about enough people donating to reach a required amount.
A post on Twitter/X says that the in-game rewards “will be unlocked for all players as we progress toward our donation goal.” The custom-built PC is the endgame of all this.
As for the specs, it sounds like it’s going to be a pretty beefy system. It’ll boast an Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics card, an Intel Core i9-13900K CPU, 64GB of RAM, and 3TB of M.2 SSD storage. Also, did I mention the human blood that’s going to course through it? I’m pretty sure I mentioned the human blood that’s going to course through it.
