Slay With Your SlayPals - Blizzard Releases Diablo 4 Mercenary Faux-Commercial
wowhead.comCatching everyone off guard completely, Blizzard has released a new video to their YouTube channel for Diablo 4's Vessel of Hatred expansion — and you'll have this one stuck in your head for days.

At face value, this video is just an ad for the Vessel of Hatred expansion with a focus on the new Mercenaries available for hire. In all reality though, this clearly must be the corrupting influence of Hell, driving the Diablo Team to the brink of madness — and it's beautiful in its madness.
The video features a stylized retro commercial for SlayPals dolls, leaning on the late 1990s and early 2000s toy commercial nostalgia, complete with a cheesy earworm of a song and an overly saccharine tone.
Starting off campy and happy-go-lucky, the SlayPals commercial derails rather quickly, descending into the realms of absurdity — of course, it's Varyana's fault.
Unfortunately as of now though, we cannot purchase SlayPals dolls to have our own Massacre Party with Varyana, but perhaps there is still hope someday for a SlayPals T-shirt.
