Diablo 4 Rumored to Feature Iconic WoW Weapon

Diablo 4 Season 5 may bring a legendary crossover: Frostmourne, the Lich King's iconic World of Warcraft weapon! Data miners exploring the Season 5 Public Test Realm (PTR) have uncovered models strongly resembling this fearsome blade, hinting at its potential inclusion in the upcoming August update.

The Season 5 PTR, running until July 2nd, offers a sneak peek at new content, including challenges, items, and quests, setting the stage for the October 8th launch of Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred. But the Frostmourne discovery is generating considerable excitement. Wowhead's findings reveal two distinct models, suggesting the possibility of both one-handed and two-handed versions. While its exact function remains a mystery – a shop cosmetic, a legendary weapon, or something entirely different – the prospect of wielding Frostmourne in Diablo 4 is thrilling.

Frostmourne's Diablo 4 Debut

Frostmourne holds legendary status in Warcraft lore, infamous as the blade that corrupted Arthas Menethil, leading to his transformation into the Lich King. Though destroyed and reforged in subsequent Warcraft expansions, players have never been able to wield the original Frostmourne in WoW. Diablo 4 could mark its first appearance as a playable weapon.

This isn't the first WoW crossover in Diablo 4. Last October, the Invincible mount and Frostmourne cosmetic were added to the in-game shop. This new discovery, however, suggests the possibility of actually using the legendary blade in combat, rather than simply displaying it.

Season 5 is also expanding weapon options for various classes. Druids gain access to polearms, one-handed swords, and daggers; Necromancers can now use maces and axes; and Sorcerers unlock one-handed swords and maces. Should Frostmourne be implemented as a one-handed sword, every class in Diablo 4 could wield it.
