Diablo 4 apparently has a secret post-credit scene

I didn’t get it on my first playthrough

Diablo 4 has been out for a few weeks, and folks still haven’t discovered a possible cow level for it. But weird stuff is popping up, old school Blizzard style.

According to several reports, including a full video from YouTuber AnActualSadTaco, there is a secret very brief hidden scene at the end of the credits, but it doesn’t always pop up. Blizzard creature artist Jamir Blanco sounded off on the frenzy on Twitter, confirming the scene:

“Sounds like some people are finally starting to realize there’s a post-credit cutscene in our game…Not sure why some people aren’t seeing the post-credit shot..will find out for u guys.”

Given how many people skip credits (when possible), and how it’s not showing up for everyone (myself included), it makes sense why this took a while for the news to become widespread.

AnActualSadTaco has several theories:

“Got this after completing [the] campaign on [my] second character. Went back and checked a random Twitch stream of someone who watched the entire credits their first completion and someone who skipped them, the extra scene didn’t seem to pop up for either of them. Friend and I had a small theory that maybe the cutscene would change in someway if you beat more times. Can confirm that was not the case. However, I will note that the character I beat it with this third time had skipped the campaign and only beat it via my friend’s first time campaign completion. I got the little cutscene again but they did not.”

What is the character in the Diablo 4 post-credit scene?

While Lilith is the main star of the game’s core campaign, there are multiple expansions in the works for Diablo 4. Fans think the figure in the post-credit scene could be Mephisto, Inarius (demon form), Lucius, or Lilith resurrected (maybe she’ll take some of Diablo’s power somehow and come back stronger). My take? Blizzard can’t resist putting Diablo back into the fray at some point, possibly via a new host body, or someone embodied with the spirit/soul of Diablo in some way.

Either way, we’ll likely get more hints on where the story is going through the seasonal drip-feed model.
