Blizzard has announced a unique promotional campaign for Diablo IV Season of Blood, featuring a special edition custom PC infused with authentic human blood. The campaign aims to boost blood donations in the United States, with the condition that a minimum of 666 quarts of blood must be collected during the period from October 20 to November 20, 2023, for the custom PC giveaway to become active.
The rationale behind this unconventional promotion is to incentivize gamers across the US to visit blood donation centers, contributing to the much-needed blood supply for hospitals. If the blood donation target is met or exceeded, the sweepstakes for the liquid-cooled PC infused with "real human blood" will commence. Milestone goals have been set along the way:
At 220 quarts, all participants will receive weapon cosmetics, including a Dagger: Bloodpetal Anlace, Axe: Bloodpetal Sever, Necromancer Focus: Bloodpetal Heart, Sword: Bloodpetal Blade, and Druid Staff: Bloodpetal Bludgeon.
When 440 quarts are reached, all participants will also gain access to the Loch Raeth Maor Barbarian Armor Cosmetic, in addition to the aforementioned weapon cosmetics.
Upon reaching the goal of 666 quarts, participants will unlock the Vermilion Eye Piebald Mount, along with entry into the grand sweepstakes for the custom PC infused with real human blood, exclusively available to US gamers aged 18 and above.
