KFC has recently hinted at a collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment ahead of the closed beta release of Diablo 4. The fast-food giant tweeted a cryptic message on March 8th, 2023, which read, “The fires of Hell are no match for our secret recipe.” The tweet also featured an image of the Diablo 4 logo with the KFC logo superimposed over it.
While no official announcement has been made by either KFC or Blizzard Entertainment, fans have already begun speculating about what the collaboration could entail. Some have speculated that KFC could be offering a special Diablo 4-themed menu, while others believe that KFC could be offering exclusive in-game items or even a special edition Diablo 4-themed bucket of chicken.
The tweet has generated a lot of buzz on social media, with fans of both KFC and Diablo 4 eagerly anticipating any further details about the potential collaboration. Some have even speculated that this could be a sign of more collaborations between fast-food chains and video game developers in the future.
This isn’t the first time that KFC has made a foray into the world of gaming. In 2020, KFC released its own dating simulator game, “I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator,” which featured a romantic storyline with the fast-food chain’s founder, Colonel Sanders. The game was well-received by fans and critics alike and demonstrated KFC’s willingness to experiment with new and unconventional marketing strategies.
Blizzard Entertainment, on the other hand, is no stranger to collaborations with other brands. The company has previously collaborated with companies such as Coca-Cola, Mountain Dew, and Kellogg’s to offer exclusive in-game items and promotions for its various franchises, including World of Warcraft and Overwatch.
Diablo 4 is one of the most highly anticipated games of 2023. The game is set to feature a darker and grittier tone than its predecessor and promises to offer players an immersive and engaging gameplay experience. The game is currently in closed beta testing, which means that only a select group of players have access to the game at this time. However, Blizzard Entertainment has announced that an open beta will be available to all players in the coming weeks.
It’s unclear at this time what the collaboration between KFC and Blizzard Entertainment will entail, but fans of both brands are certainly excited to find out. The fast-food giant’s tweet has already generated a lot of interest and speculation on social media, and it will be interesting to see how the collaboration unfolds in the coming weeks and months.
Diablo 4 and Kentucky Fried Chicken look to be working together, and a forthcoming promotion may provide players access to the restricted beta. Although nothing specific has been made public to date, it’s possible that users will soon be able to purchase a KFC sandwich to gain access to the Diablo 4 beta.
There was a rumor that buying the recently re-released Double Down sandwich from KFC would provide players with a code for the Diablo 4 beta, but nothing has come to light to support that. Fans learned more specific information about the relationship on March 7 after KFC advised a fan to check back on March 9 in response to a question about it.
To offer everyone an opportunity to participate in the Diablo 4 beta, there will be an open test period available for a weekend for anyone who don’t want to shell out money for a KFC sandwich. Players can also participate in a closed beta phase.
How to enter the closed beta for Diablo 4
Those that pre-order Diablo 4 can access the closed beta. Between March 17 and 20, the early access beta will be accessible, and on the weekend after that, it will become an open beta. Character development continues over the course of the two weekends.
Because titles and cosmetics that can be unlocked in the test will also be unlocked for the final release, progress carrying over will be crucial. This shouldn’t be too difficult after two beta weekends.
- Initial Casualty Title: obtained by sending one character to Kyovashad.

- Earned by having one character attain Level 20 in the Beta Wolf Pack.

While no official announcement has been made yet, the teaser has sparked speculation and excitement about what the collaboration could entail.
