Diablo 4 Hidden Post-Credits Scene Explained

While many players haven't gotten the credits to roll and seen the end of Diablo 4 just yet, some players have, and to put it lightly, it's caused quite a bit of confusion among fans as a short and obscure post-credit scene makes an appearance. Luckily, we now finally have the answers regarding what this teaser is about, what its purpose is in the game, and how you can check it out.

Below we'll walk you through everything you need to know about the post-credit cutscene in Diablo 4, including the cutscene itself and what many others are speculating it means for the future of the game. 

Diablo 4 - Hidden Post-Credits Scene Explained

Although there are likely numerous players who have already witnessed it, the post-credits scene in Diablo 4 recently gained wider attention following a tweet from Blizzard employee Jamir Blanco. He lightheartedly mentioned that people were just starting to realize the existence of Diablo 4's post-credits scene.

Sounds like some people are finally starting to realize there’s a post-credit cutscene in our game... 🤫😈

What's interesting here is that not everyone is getting the scene to play when they reach the end of the game. Even those who have patiently watched or fast-forwarded through the credits are unsure about the triggers that activate it. Some speculate that it might be related to the difficulty level, while others suggest it only appears in subsequent playthroughs. 

This confusion has also puzzled Blanco, who has assured several players that he will inquire with Blizzard to understand why some individuals are not encountering the scene.

The scene in question has been uploaded to YouTube by a user named AnActualSadTaco, even before Blanco's tweet, which you can check out above. And although we could issue a spoiler warning before watching it, the scene itself is quite brief and enigmatic, making it difficult to spoil much.

In the video, a demon briefly appears, with the image pulsating in classic Diablo epic-ness, and only the face of the demon is visible against a backdrop of hellish red. The identity of this demon remains unclear, leaving room for tons of speculation, and boy, are there speculations. Especially since Diablo has no shortage of demonic-looking antagonist characters, making it challenging to narrow down the possibilities. 

Some players believe it could be Lucion, the son of Mephisto from Diablo 2, while others theorize it might be Diablo himself since his name is still associated with the game. Other theories delve into spoiler territory, connecting the fiery figure in the post-credits scene with certain characters from Diablo 4. However, we have nothing substantial past that, and the truth will likely unravel as Diablo 4's post-launch content is unveiled.

Regardless, the post-credits scene adds to the growing collection of mysteries surrounding Diablo 4, which is not a bad thing by a long shot. So as we speculate on the various obscure aspects of the game such as the identity of the fiery figure, be sure to check back here frequently as we'll keep our ears to the ground on this one and share the current stance surrounding the post-credit scene of Diablo 4.
