Calling gamers with a taste for gore-met candy: a chocolate emporium featuring creatures and weapons made entirely from chocolate has opened In London to mark the release of Diablo IV, the hellish new instalment of the hugely popular game series.
This is a whole new spin on dark chocolate!
The pop-up is named after Diablo IV’s main protagonist, Lilith, the titular demon of the fantasy series.
Chocolatier and sculptor extraordinaire Sarah Hardy, of The Edible Museum, has created an array of choc sculptures for the promotion. We went to the opening and reckon you’ll need a strong stomach – and a sense of humour.
What appears to be a high-end chocolate emporium, is actually an 18-rated art exhibition…
The quality and detail of finish of the sculptures is extraordinary. A disemboweled Treasure Goblin takes centre stage, surrounded by an assortment of skulls, bones, runes and weaponry.
To show just what the sculpts look like in their unpainted form, a choccy Goatman bust glares at visitors passing by.
There’s also an immersive experience, entered via a confessional booth, that summons up Lilith herself – and if you’re really lucky, you might even see some wolves.
Visitors can also descend into a candle-lit gaming area, in the stock room of the shop, to get hands on with the title. Look closely, and you’ll spot a Diablo-themed Xbox One in the gloom.
Products on sale include life-sized chocolate human skulls and femur bones, Demon Hearts and even chocolate runes! Prices start at £6.66 (naturally), with 100 per cent of sales benefitting SpecialEffect, a gaming charity which transforms the lives of people with physical challenges.
Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo IV is available on Windows PC, Xbox and PlayStation from June 6. Lilith & Co can be found at 15 Bateman Street, London, W1D 3AQ. It’s open June 3 – 4, midday – 6pm. Not for the faint of heart, only those over 18 years old will be admitted.
The Glenlivet has released the second chapter in its ultra-luxury Eternal Collection, a 56 Year Old single malt limited to just 60 bottles worldwide. The expression represents one of the oldest whiskies ever to emerge from the lauded Speyside distillery, and it’s also one of the most expensive, at €52,500 a bottle. This release follows…
A growing appetite for rare goods and niche collectables is prompting one of the capital’s most exclusive vaults to significantly increase its storage capacity. IBV International Vaults London, based on Park Lane, has announced plans to boost its offering of military-grade safe boxes by more than 60 per cent. The company operates from Stanhope House,…
Move over Sherlock. Disney+ has confirmed that Only Murders in the Building will return for a sixth season, and this time, everyone’s favourite true-crime trio is crossing the pond. That’s right: Charles, Oliver, and Mabel (Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez) are swapping the Upper West Side for the streets of London, where a…
