For Diablo 4, an entire church was decorated.
Diablo 4 is fast approaching: On June 6th you can expect the release of perhaps the most anticipated game of the year. And starting March 17th, the first of you will be playing the Diablo 4 beta for yourself and getting a taste of the potential action role-playing game hit.
Exactly for this beta, Blizzard has now turned a new live action trailer – and one for it entire church decorated with demonic murals
Diablo 4 transforms desecrated church
The atmospheric commercial features the interior of a church in France, the walls and ceiling of which have been completely decorated with opulent murals depicting the struggle between the five playable classes and the demonic hordes of Diablo 4’s new enemy, Lililith.
But it’s best to see for yourself:

Diablo 4: A real church was painted with figures from Hell for this trailer
If the narrator’s voice sounds familiar, it’s actor Charles Dance, who most may know as the wily Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones.
Specifically, the Church is the Chapel of the Jesuits
– a desecrated church in Cambrai, France. The huge work of art was created by Baroque artist Adam Miller and covers a total of 2,400 square meters. A total of 20 different paintings form a 60 meter long mural.
Diablo 4 art director John Mueller revealed in a behind-the-scenes video that the goal was to create something from epic proportions
to create that to the time of Michelangelo and Davinci and those old masters
remind. We find: That worked well!
The demonic mural in the French church is not the first unusual marketing campaign for Diablo 4. In the past, players have been able to have Diablo symbols decorated for free and thus secure beta access. And recently Blizzard presented quite absurd fashion creations at a fashion show, which are also said to be inspired by the action RPG series.
