Diablo 4 players have unearthed a number of secret post-credits endings that tease the return of one of the series’ most famous villains and perhaps a new big bad.
Diablo 4 spoilers follow.
It turns out Blizzard’s action role-playing game has a secret ending that pops up after the credits have rolled, although it does not always appear, and there are in fact multiple endings that may or may not trigger following repeated completions of the campaign at various difficulties.
Jamir Blanco, cinematic character and creature artist at Blizzard, took to Twitter to confirm the secret endings are legit.
Sounds like some people are finally starting to realize there’s a post-credit cutscene in our game… 🤫😈

WowHead reports four different jumpscare post-credits endings have been found so far, each showing an unnamed demonic entity. These endings are only a second long, so it’s hard to make definitive statements about what they show, but current speculation points to three of them showing Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred.
This isn’t a surprise, given Mephisto’s key role in the Diablo 4 story. But it’s the fourth ending that has set the cat among the pigeons within the Diablo community. What is the entity in the teaser? Could it tease the existence of a new enemy to fight in future Diablo 4 expansions?
WowHead reckons the image teases Lucion, Mephisto’s son and Lilith’s brother. Lucion was mentioned in the first part of Blizzard’s lore-focused Book of Lorath series, and is referenced in the Book of Tyrael from Diablo 3.
Blizzard has said it’s currently working on two expansions for Diablo 4, each of which are set to continue the story. Story content added with Diablo 4 seasons revolves more around side stories that occur during the same time period as the main campaign, so we could be in for a bit of a wait to find out what this is all about.
Diablo 4’s secret endings aren’t the only mysteries players are fussing over. Fans are still trying to work out whether Diablo 4 has a secret cow level, despite Blizzard’s insistence it doesn’t exist.
In IGN’s 9/10 review we described Diablo 4 as “a stunning sequel with near perfect endgame and progression design that makes it absolutely excruciating to put down”. Be sure to use our interactive map to keep track of your progress as you play.
