It will likely run throughDiablo 4’slaunch on June 6–and perhaps beyond release day to keep players logging in toWorld of Warcraft.
In addition to the experience and reputation boost, players can earn several cosmetic items during the event. A newWorld of Warcraftachievementassociated with the new Baal’lial battle pet indicates players can earn a new minion themed after the Lord of Lies fromDiablo 3. Item entries for a Horadric Haversack bag and an Enmity Hood and Cloak ensemble have also been discovered, as have models for a cosmetic Wirt’s Leg mace and a Treasure Nabbin’ Bag back piece. Players will likely be able to earn these items by defeating Treasure Goblins, exchanging currency, or other similar activities.
Players are understandably excited about thisDiablo 4crossover event inWoW. Welcome to Sanctuary would not be the first of such events–Blizzard has held similar crossovers in the past, and it even includes aWorld of Warcraftmount in theDiablo 4pre-purchase bundles.

WithDiablo 4’ssuccessful open betabehind it, and its release in just a couple of months, players can’t wait to return to Sanctuary once more. Though Azeroth’s population could take a dip for a short time after its launch, the Welcome to Sanctuary event will ensure players don’t forget aboutWorld of Warcraftas they battle against Lilith and her minions.
