WoW to celebrate Diablo 4 launch with two upcoming crossover events

In the patch 10.1 PTR, Blizzard added information that confirms WoW will get a pair of launch events to celebrate d4 items' upcoming release.

Blizzard and fans of their games are going to be incredibly busy in the weeks ahead. First, World of Warcraft’s Dragonflight patch 10.1 arrives on Tuesday, May 2. About a month later, the studio will deploy Diablo 4 on PC and consoles.

But before Diablo’s next entry hits stores in June, Blizzard promises to bring some Sanctuary to the WoW community.

That expense is evident in the new Patch 10.1 Build for Dragonflight, which details two incoming Diablo 4-themed festivities.

In-game Diablo 4 launch events confirmed for WoW

As spotted by Blizzard Watch and content creator MrGM, Dragonflight’s newest patch 10.1 PTR features descriptions and dates associated with two Diablo 4 crossovers.

The to begin such events, entitled “A Greedy Emissary,” goes live from May 25 to June 13. “Welcome to Sanctuary” marks the 2nd in-game event and will be available from June 15 through July 10.

The description for that “Greedy Emissary” content teases odd winds creeping in from the different world and “bag-holding creatures” that could possess the great treasure.

Meanwhile, the crossover that starts in June will fill WoW heroes with “renewed vigor” as characters unlock increased experience and reputation through the Diablo-themed celebration.

Outside of the abovementioned information, details regarding WoW’s upcoming Diablo 4 events remain scant. How players will participate and what “Greedy Emissary” treasures might include are anyone’s guess.

But using the crossovers and d4 items launching in just a matter of weeks, Blizzard is likely to make a formal announcement at some point.
