Blizzard Entertainment has announced a new limited-time crossover event that brings Doom: The Dark Ages to Diablo Immortal.

Inspired by Diablo Immortal's Survivor’s Bane, The Slayers Reign crossover event will kick off on April 15 and run through to May 13, and transform the Sanctuary with Doom-inspired gameplay, enemies, cosmetics, and progression systems drawn directly from the Dark Ages era.

"Reign in Hell with iconic DOOM: The Dark Ages gameplay and limited-time cosmetics that are feared by Hell," Blizzard said in the official blog post. "Parry, break, and burst hordes of demons using iconic weapons like the Shield Saw, Dreadmace, and legendary Super Shotgun."

Alongside the "Slayer-inspired" arsenal, players can also utilize six unique skills, some of which work in concert to deliver maximum damage to enemies and reward aggression and momentum.

Imps will stalk the battlefield, but it's the Cyberdemon that is the main boss of the crossover event. The Ancient Elder of Hell will need to be taken down by using the Slayer skills and weapons in order to claim victory, as well as the legendary gem, The Crucible.
