Diablo fans and showgoers can celebrate the highly anticipated launch of Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred (available now) when Hell comes to life at PAX Aus (11-13 October 2024) with a one-of-a-kind installation and artwork.

The space will include a custom sculpture by Aussie artist Jazza that channels the new Spiritborn class and its Spirit Guardians. The piece features hand-smashed objects of hatred from some of Australia’s most popular creator personalities: Tim Collins, Caleb Finn, Jordan Raskopoulos, Bajo, Hexsteph, and Fasffy. Check out the footage of them in action here.

Blizzard has also collaborated with metal-working artisan realsteelprojects to create a life-sized replica of the Spiritborn’s glaive weapon, which attendees can wield for themselves.

Each day of the show, two lucky visitors who pose with the glaive and share their experience on Instagram using the hashtag #SmashTheHatred will go into the running to win a special Vessel of Hatred prize pack. Each kit includes a Diablo IV Collector’s Edition, a copy of Diablo IV and Vessel of Hatred, and a custom Spirit Guardian incense kit. These bundles will ready players for battle as they take on Mephisto and the corruption spreading across Nahantu.

PAX Aus guests can also experience the next big chapter in the Diablo story with hands-on time with Vessel of Hatred and the Spiritborn class at the PC GAME PASS x Lenovo Legion booth.
