The band contributed music to titles like The Matrix soundtrack and has appeared in games such as <strong>Guitar Hero<\/strong>. This <strong>Diablo IV <\/strong>partnership feels like a natural fit given the band\u2019s heavy, aggressive sound and the game\u2019s dark, intense atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Blizzard has increasingly leaned into music collaborations for <strong>Diablo 4<\/strong>, using high-profile artists to amplify the expansion\u2019s launch. The \u201cReward the Scars\u201d video is likely to feature cinematic visuals from the expansion, new in-game footage, and Korn\u2019s signature style, creating a powerful promotional piece that bridges the two worlds.<\/p>\n<p>The music video premiere on April 27 will serve as the final hype moment before players can dive into Lord of Hatred on April 28. In addition to the new classes and systems, the expansion brings expanded endgame activities, quality-of-life improvements, and a continuation of the story that began in the base game and Vessel of Hatred.<\/p>\n<p>Players who pre-purchase the expansion can access the Paladin class early, while the full experience including the new Warlock, skill tree changes, Talismans, and Horadric Cube becomes available to everyone on launch day.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration with Korn adds an extra layer of excitement for fans who enjoy both the game\u2019s heavy atmosphere and the band\u2019s music. It also highlights Blizzard\u2019s continued strategy of using cross-media partnerships to keep <strong>Diablo 4<\/strong> culturally relevant as it enters its second year of live-service support.<\/p>\n<p>With the expansion launching in just days and the music video dropping the day before, April 27\u201328 is shaping up to be one of the biggest moments for <strong>Diablo 4<\/strong> in 2026. Fans are encouraged to watch the premiere and prepare their characters for the return of Mephisto and the new challenges awaiting in Skovos.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    window.onload = function () { setTimeout(initFBPixel, 5000) };\n    function initFBPixel() {\n        !function (f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n            if (f.fbq) return; n = f.fbq = function () {\n                n.callMethod ?\n                    n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments)\n            }; if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n            n.push = n; n.loaded = !0; n.version = '2.0'; n.queue = []; t = b.createElement(e); t.async = !0;\n            t.src = v; s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s)\n        }(window,\n            document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n        fbq('init', '890995121033920'); \/\/ Insert your pixel ID here.\n        fbq('track', 'PageView');\n            fbq('track', 'ArticleView');\n    }\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source gamefragger.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blizzard Entertainment and nu-metal legends Korn have announced a major crossover tied to the upcoming Diablo 4 expansion Lord of Hatred.
