It’s hard to believe, butWorld of Warcraftis now two decades old. The original vanillaWorld of Warcraftlaunched back in 2004, and has since then received ten expansion packs with two more already announced and on the way. As part of the 20th-anniversary celebration, another Blizzard title,Diablo Immortal, ishosting an eventto honor the MMORPG’s long history.
It would have been awesome to see this event inDiablo 4as opposed toDiablo Immortal, but I’m assuming the recent release of the firstDiablo 4expansion,Vessel of Hatred, played a role in preventing that. Instead, starting November 13 at 3 a.m. local time, players will be able to take part in the Eternal War during the 20th-anniversary event and acquire event-specific rewards themed aroundWorld of Warcraft.
Here are all the rewards you can obtain in the first few tiers of the Eternal War inDiablo Immortalduring the event:
The Frostmourne Weapon cosmetic and Icecrown Pathway portal were previous available in the Shadow of the Frozen Throne event, so it’s possible you already have them. As part of the event, players can then take on the pinnacle boss of theWorld of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich Kingexpansion, the Lich King himself. Considered by many to be the most famous—or infamous—character in all of Warcraft, fighting against the Lich King will reward players with Frozen Boons, a new currency that can be used to unlock various cosmetic Weapon Skins for each ofDiablo Immortal’seight classes.
I have to admit, these are some pretty legendary Weapon Skins fromWarcraftlore including Gorehowl, Atiesh, and Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker. Yes, that Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker. Here are all the Weapon Skins each class can get:
ForDiablo Immortalplayers interested in some PvP, there’s also the opportunity to partake in the Cutthroat Basin PvP event. Themed after the popularWoWBattleground Arathi Basin, players will be assigned to either the Horde or Alliance and then fight against the other faction across the Arathi Basin. Victory in the Cutthroat Basin rewards players with progress towards the Eternal War event as well.
TheDiablo Immortal20th anniversary event crossover withWorld of Warcraftstarts on November 13 at 3 a.m. local server time and runs through December 11 at 2:59 a.m. local server time. Players who login toDiablo Immortaland join in on the fun on a Level 10 or higher character during the event will also receive a Treasure Nabbin’ Bag cosmetic inWorld of Warcraft: The War Within.
