As theDiablo 4community continues its hunt for a secret level that may or may not actually exist, the game’s production director has acknowledged players’ efforts and has offered a piece of advice that has sparked further speculation.
Confused? Let’s rewind. SinceDiablo 4’s launch, players have been on thelookout for a ‘secret cow level’- a level full of armed cows, led by the Cow King. The bizarre bovine level has been included in the series sinceDiablo 2, after starting out as a hoax that the devs acknowledged and brought to life.
However, whileDiablo 4 wasreleased in June, players haven’t been able to locate a cow level at all. In fact, in May, Diablo general manager Rod Fergussontold Kinda Funny Gamesthat “there’s no secret level inDiablo 4that people might be looking for”, which you’d think would have shut down the hunt entirely. However, that’s not been the case - as PC Gamerreportedlast month, dedicated members of the ‘Not Finding A Cow Level’ Discord server recently alleged that killing 666 cows inDiablo 4will cause a relic item to be dropped. Some believe that this could be part of the greater cow level mystery.
In a newinterview with IGN, production director Tiffany Wat and associate game director Joe Piepiora were directly asked about the cow level. While Wat initially joked that it “sounds udderly ridiculous”, she added: “I mean, I think I have heard that a lot of players have been out there slaying cows.”
After Piepiora questioned players killing “poor innocent cows in the countryside ofDiablo”, Wat continued: “Poor, innocent cows in Sanctuary. I mean, Sanctuary is not a good place to be, even as a cow. I will say, however, if people have picked up any items from their cow campaign… cow slay-age campaign… they should hang on to them.”
Of course, this isn’t direct confirmation that a cow level does currently exist within the game, but there’s no doubt that this is going to spur on the hunters of it even further.
