Diablo 4 players are adamant that there is a secret cow level in the game, although Diablo general manager Rod Ferguson has denied its existence, Eurogamer reports.

In a May interview with Kinda Funny, Ferguson said that people shouldn’t spend time looking for a secret level that doesn’t exist.

“We’ve had some fun, but we wanted to make sure it felt authentic to the gothic, dark themes we had. And because of that, there’s no secret level in Diablo 4 that people might be looking for, as per previous games.”

Said Rod Fergusson.

Players, however, don’t believe the general manager and have still been searching for a secret level in Diablo 4 since the game’s release.

In the first part of Diablo, a rumor was released that there was a secret cow level. And if you click on a specific cow and a specific number of times, you will open a portal to a mysterious level known as the Secret Cow Level. It turned out that no such mystery existed in the first game, but players left their doubts about the rest of Diablo.

So far, there’s no sign of a secret level in Diablo 4 – despite some slight references to cows throughout the game.

As reported by PC Gamer, a thread on reddit includes some interesting evidence that fans think might be a hint of its existence after all.

There’s also more conclusive evidence. Both a “Bloody Wooden Shard” item with a W carved into the side and a “Mustic Dome” can be found in the game, likely referencing the wooden leg of Virth and the city portal dome that were needed to access the Mu Mu farm in Diablo 2.

Will Diablo 4’s secret level turn out to be real, or will all players’ efforts to figure it out prove futile?
