Diablo is a hack-and-slash action video game that leans into dark gothic fantasy. As part of the Blizzard team at Mutiny, I occasionally supported Diablo in writing scripts, or going on shoot to help direct and produce work.
OATH OF THE SWORD
A contest for only the most loyal new paladin recruits to win a new sword to add to their collection.
The Diablo team partnered with Norland Forge because of his strong IG engagement and perfect qualifications for making a sword. The idea was for followers to engage by posting an “oath”, and thus Oath of the Sword was born.
I was tasked with writing a script for the idea, to announce it’s launch on social and begin engagement with our fans.
VOICE THE WARLOCK CONTEST
To amplify the Warlock’s arrival to Diablo II: Resurrected, the Diablo team created a contest that asked players to recite a monologue using their interpretation of the warlock’s voice, with the winner receiving a trip to London to see the Infernal Symphony.
To announce the challenge, who better than the voice actor of the Warlock—Rahul Kohli.
I stepped in to go direct the shoot with Rahul and capture his launch announcement in studio, making sure we captured Diablo’s dark social tones on set.
