Diablo Pet Revealed For BlizzCon 2016 In-Game Goodie
by JR Cook - 9 years ago show comments
BlizzCon 2016 is one month and a half away and as such, we will likely begin to see a cavalcade of news come from Blizzard Entertainment. Among the things to be rolled out, we did not yet know which in-game goodies each franchise would be receiving for the purchase of a BlizzCon ticket and/or virtual ticket. That day is now here, as an official blog post revealed what we can expect to see in our accounts in the near future.
Particular to Diablo, it looks like the theme of honoring the past is continuing. A pet for the Lord of Terror himself, Diablo, will be added to Diablo III accounts, but it is worth noting that it is fashioned after the original look of Diablo from the inaugural game. Is this putting more evidence in the column for some sort of Diablo I/Diablo II remake or update? Take a look below for more.
Every BlizzCon®, we give out a treasure trove of in-game goodies to attendees and Virtual Ticket holders to commemorate the occasion. Take a look at what you’ll get for your favorite Blizzard games when you join us for BlizzCon X.
