Wait, Diablo 4 has a post-credit scene?

While most Diablo 4 players have yet to finish the campaign and rack up the credits, those who haven’t may not realize they’re missing out on a small part of the story. The game’s lengthy credits hide a very brief post-credits scene.

The trick is that not everyone understands it. Even those of us who sit (to fast-forward) through them still aren’t sure what triggers it. Some suggest it has something to do with the difficulty, while others say it only shows up in games beyond the first.

So what’s the deal? Blizzard character and creature film artist Jamir Blanco took to Twitter to confirm that Diablo 4 does indeed have a post-credits scene, and that players are starting to see it organically.

As reported by GamesRadar, this isn’t actually a big Marvel-style stinger. It’s more of a tease, and even then, it’s so brief that no one really knows what it’s about. in fact joke. As you can see in the video (via UnTacoTristeCurrent), a demon appears briefly, its image pulsing.

Only the demon’s face is visible, and it’s against a hellish red background. So what the hell is it? That’s the thing, it’s not really clear enough to speculate. Assuming the stinger is teasing Diablo 4’s post-launch first season narrative, it’s likely following the events of the campaign.

The demo in the scene looks like Diablo, but that could just be obfuscation, so it’s hard to say. Diablo doesn’t necessarily have a reason to return, but Blizzard could still come up with a ruse to bring him back.

The first season is supposed to start sometime in mid-to-late July, so I imagine Blizzard will start teasing it properly at the beginning of the month, and things may start to make sense around that time.
