Blizzard just gave players their first glimpse at the boss fight against Lilith inDiablo 4. While no one is surprised to see Lilith as a boss inDiablo 4, seeing actual footage from the battle itself is no less exciting to players looking forward to the action RPG.
Less than three weeksbeforeDiablo 4’slaunch–and just over two weeks before early access begins–Blizzard has shared a launch trailer full of brand-new gameplay from the upcoming ARPG. Set to “You Should See Me In a Crown” by Billie Eilish, the newDiablo 4footage shows off new portions of the game in a manner reminiscent of a blockbuster film.

Several of the enemies, locations, and bosses glimpsed in the trailer arefamiliar to players who participated in theDiablo 4beta, but others were brand new. Massive flesh-priests, hordes of monsters across lava flows, and massive ogre-like demons battle the ill-fated heroes ofDiablo 4. However, the star of the show is Lilith. While she unsurprisingly appears multiple times during the trailer, her in-game model can be seen using her signature crimson magic in what appears to be a temple at the 1:20 mark for a couple seconds. This could be the first glimpse at Lilith’s boss fight, or at least one of her major in-game appearances.
The short video shows off some of the abilities and Ultimate skills available tothe classes inDiablo 4, as well as several awesome outfits created via its robust transmog system. Many of these abilities show off high-level techniques unavailable to players at the level 25 cap from theDiablo 4beta. Several portions of the trailer also feature the customizable mount system inDiablo 4, including new footage of the special attacks characters can perform while mounted.
Some fans were caught off guard by Billie Eilish during the trailer. Most fans expected music fromDiabloitself, and were surprised to hear a song from pop culture instead. That said, the lyrics of the track are surprisingly fitting forLilith and her story inDiablo, so many were impressed by how well it went together–especially fans of both the artist and the game.
Early access forDiablo 4is almost here. Players can dive into Sanctuary on June 2–four days before launch–if theypre-purchase a non-Standard Edition ofDiablo 4. If this trailer is any indication of what awaits players inDiablo 4, they are in for an intense journey regardless of when they start playing.
Diablo 4will be available June 6 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
