Diablo IV, the fourth installment of the long-running action role-playing franchise Diablo, isn't out yet but it's generating a ton of buzz among fans. In April, the title went gold, even though there were close to two months to go till launch. Now, in a massive promotional push that many will see as a sign of the studio's belief in the title, Blizzard Entertainment has officially opened the doors of a real cathedral dedicated to the game.
The church christened The Cathedral of Diablo is located in Cambrai, a town situated in northern France, and will be open for fans of the game to visit from May 6 to June 11, which is a few days after the game's release on June 6. However, while entry is free, fans can only access the church between the hours of 2 pm and 7 pm CEST.
In a promotional video posted to its YouTube channel, Blizzard Entertainment provides a brief insight into the making of the cathedral. In the video, the studio harkened back to Diablo's gothic roots before going to claim that it "immortalized the game's haunting beauty by creating a piece of art at epic scale on the ceiling of a French church."
