Like the High Heavens and Burning Hells, Halsey needed a counterpart to accompany them on the fiery track and help tame their commanding power. Cue SUGA, a longtime collaborator and friend, who makes his way through the haze and effortlessly spits bars at the halfway mark. (Image: Activision.com)
The official music video for “Lilith (Diablo IV Anthem)” has been unleashed, in an unprecedented partnership with Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo IV. With an unrivaled fusion of genres and creative brilliance, Halsey and SUGA bring their collective talent to the forefront, captivating audiences around the world.
Directed by the visionary Henry Hobson, the music video takes viewers on a captivating journey through multiple locations, including the awe-inspiring Chapelle des Jésuites in Cambrai, France. Blizzard transformed this historical venue into a breathtaking testament to the world of Diablo IV, adorning the ceiling with captivating paintings and an awe-inspiring 160-foot mural inspired by the game itself.

As a true fan of Diablo, Halsey exclaims, “I’m thrilled that I got to collab with SUGA of BTS on a reimagined version of ‘Lilith’ for the Diablo IV anthem! Having spent countless hours in Sanctuary with my family, I’m here as both a fan and a collaborator. Plus, I’ve always wanted to do a concept with SUGA with this type of dark mythology. Hopefully, fans of Diablo, SUGA, and myself will love Lilith’s embrace.”
SUGA, equally excited about this project, expresses, “Working with Halsey on a track for the Diablo universe has been an incredible joy. I hope the track resonates with many people worldwide.”
Rod Fergusson, the General Manager of Diablo at Blizzard Entertainment, shares his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “This anthem for Diablo IV is a beautiful culmination of Halsey and SUGA’s passion for the world of Diablo and what it represents. Their re-interpretation of Halsey’s ‘Lilith’ from all angles – as a sound, as a piece of art, as a narrative – takes you right into the desperate world of Sanctuary and the resolute spirit it takes to fight your demons, whatever form they may take.”
The highly anticipated music video premiered with the first captivating 20 seconds at the unforgettable Diablo IV launch event, held at Vibiana in Downtown Los Angeles on May 31. Attendees, including renowned collaborators like Gottmik, Offset, Tinashe, David Harbour, Khleo Thomas, and others, were swept away in the immersive experience, dancing the night away to a mesmerizing DJ set by Zedd while themed visuals adorned the walls of the iconic cathedral.
