Last December, rapper bbno$ announced that he was quitting music. However, it didn’t take long for the Canadian artist to go back on that statement; releasing new music to his adoring fans this past January. If he’d waited a little longer to break that spell, he could have celebrated that milestone alongside the release of the major update Diablo II: Resurrected – Reign of the Warlock; which has prompted another Activision-Blizzard pop culture collab!
Reign of the Warlock is certainly worth celebrating, as it adds that very class to the revived classic – currently available on Battle.net! Spawning the song “Save Me,” this occasion calls for a song worthy of a modern bard. So take a moment, and enjoy this bbno$ music video that shows off the goods:
After seeing bbno$’s freak outs while playing Diablo II: Resurrected in the “Save Me” music video, I think it’s safe to say that this man knows the pains of battle. Of course, we’re talking about a man so deep into nerd culture, he’s secured his credentials through acts like cosplaying as Sailor Moon.
Still, for those looking for a little more background on the “1-800” singer’s love of the game, bbno$ (also known as Alexander Leon Gumuchian) provided this statement:
I’ve thrown Diablo LAN parties and clocked north of 300 days played in this game. My website is literally Act 1. So when Blizzard reached out, it felt like they finally noticed I’ve been obsessed this whole time. Honestly, it was the most full-circle moment of my life.
Lest you doubt the man, paying a visit to the official bbno$ website, will treat you to an absolutely fitting blast from the past. Be warned: the classic look of that portal to information is set to have you feeling like it loaded way too quickly – and may cause spontaneous back pain. And if your ears are ringing with the nostalgic tones of a dial-up modem, there’s another good reason for that.
Yes, “Save Me” DOES Include A Deckard Cain Rap Reference
Right at the top of the tune, “Save Me” tips its sword to the classic Deckard Cain Rap easter egg from Diablo II’s original 2001 release. It’d be rude to not share that deep fried classic to keep the mood going. So here’s the OG Diablo II rap track – provided for your amusement:
Diablo II: Resurrected – Reign of the Warlock is currently available on PC and the Nintendo Switch, as well as the current and previous gen Xbox and Playstation consoles. And to level up on all the latest and greatest updates in pop culture, keep a browser tab tuned to THS’ Gaming News archives!
