CD Projekt and Blizzard have released a first look at the Geralt-themed Barbarian skin for Diablo 4, but you’ll need to preorder The Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past on Battle.net to get it.
During BlizzCon 2026, CD Projekt’s Expert Community and Social Media Manager Amelia Korzycka and Level Design Lead Miles Tost appeared as guests on the 30 Years of Battle.net panel to reveal the skin, which will be available to Battle.net players who pre-purchase Songs of the Past (it’s only available to wishlist right now), or buy the expansion when it launches. That means the Geralt skin is locked behind Battle.net, which in turn means Steam players, for example, miss out.
This, as you can imagine, isn’t going down particularly well with Diablo 4 players who already own The Witcher 3 on non-Battle.net platforms. Remastered is coming to Steam as a free upgrade on September 29, 2026 for anyone who already owns the base game. So, those who already own The Witcher 3 on Steam (at this point, who doesn’t?) and are interested in Songs of the Past are probably going to buy it on Valve’s platform, and probably don’t want to rebuy The Witcher 3 on Battle.net
