Hollywood meets Hell: Megan Fox to read eulogies for Diablo 4’s fallen warriors
Hollywood star Megan Fox is now starring in the newest Diablo IV commercial. Instead of just asking players to buy Diablo IV, she’s asking them to die — in the game.
She begins the video by saying “If there’s one thing I love, it’s the sight of blood. And in Diablo IV, there are rivers of it”. This alludes to Blizzard’s new campaign where Fox herself will be eulogizing the deaths of some players who use the hashtag #DiabloDeaths. The idea might sound cool, but remember that she also states that it might not be a good eulogy. It’s Megan and Blizzard who will ultimately decide whether players died as heroes — or total chumps. Only time will tell!
#DiabloIV is here, embrace the bloodshed.
Share videos of your in-game death on Twitter or TikTok using #DiabloDeaths for a chance to have your eulogy read by @meganfox on June 8th. pic.twitter.com/dSgG2yuNbS
