Blizzard has brought two of its most iconic franchises together in an exciting crossover event, where elements of World of Warcraft (WoW) have now made their way into Diablo 4. Players of the action RPG can now purchase World of Warcraft-inspired cosmetic sets for each class, along with the legendary Celestial Steed mount, directly from the in-game shop.

Expanding on Blizzard’s Legacy of Crossovers

Blizzard Entertainment is no stranger to crossovers between its popular franchises. World of Warcraft has featured multiple crossover events, including one to celebrate the release of Diablo 4. In the past, Diablo 4 players have also had the chance to acquire World of Warcraft‘s Invincible mount, giving their horses a makeover reminiscent of the Lich King’s steed. Now, Blizzard has taken this collaboration a step further with a new set of cosmetic bundles inspired by legendary characters from the World of Warcraft universe.

The New WoW-Themed Cosmetic Sets

Diablo 4 players can now purchase five new transmog sets, each inspired by a different iconic World of Warcraft character. These sets are available for each of the current classes in the game and include not just armor, but also the weapons wielded by these renowned heroes and villains. Here’s a breakdown of what players can get:

  • Barbarian: The Gladiator King set inspired by Varian Wrynn/Lo’Gosh, complete with the Shalamayne sword.
  • Druid: The First Satyr set modeled after Xavius, featuring the Thorn of Xavius totem.
  • Necromancer: The Blade set inspired by Xal’atath, including the Xal’atath, Black Blade of the Empire dagger.
  • Rogue: The Banshee Queen set based on Sylvanas Windrunner, with the Deathwhisper bow.
  • Sorcerer: The Sun King set reflecting Kael’thas Sunstrider, paired with the Felo’melorn dagger.

Each of these bundles is priced at 2,800 Platinum in the in-game shop, and they also include special particle effects that add to their allure. Additionally, the Celestial Steed mount, a favorite from World of Warcraft, is now available for 2,500 Platinum, complete with a mount skin, armor, and unique dash animation that showcases its transparent wings.

No In-Game Events, But High-Quality Cosmetics

Despite the addition of these impressive transmog sets and the Celestial Steed mount, there are no corresponding in-game events tied to this crossover. Players interested in acquiring these items will need to purchase them from Tejal’s shop using real money. While this may be a downside for some, the quality of the cosmetics, with detailed designs and special effects, has been widely praised within the community.

Moreover, some of the transmog sets include elements that can be used individually, like the tattoos from the Xavius and Xal’atath sets or the undead skin tone from the Sylvanas set. These features offer a level of customization that allows players to mix and match different looks.

More Crossovers on the Horizon?

This crossover event follows closely on the heels of Diablo Immortal’s recent “Shadow of the Frozen Throne” event, which ended on July 26. During this event, players could collect cosmetics inspired by Wrath of the Lich King, and there were even discoveries of Frostmourne models hidden in Diablo 4’s game files. Although Frostmourne has not been included in this latest crossover, it leaves room for speculation about future content.

With both World of Warcraft and Diablo 4 gearing up for new expansions—The War Within and Vessel of Hatred, respectively—this crossover is a fitting celebration of Blizzard’s expansive and interconnected game universe.

Final Thoughts

The Diablo 4 and World of Warcraft crossover event is an exciting addition for fans of both franchises. While the lack of accompanying in-game events may disappoint some players, the high-quality, detailed cosmetics offer plenty of value for those looking to enhance their in-game appearance. As Blizzard continues to expand its universe, fans can look forward to even more crossovers and collaborative events in the future. Whether you’re a die-hard WoW fan or a devoted Diablo player, this crossover offers something special for everyone.
