Need an incentive to dive back into Hell? Pre-order Diablo 4 and get a sweet WoW flying mount for your trouble.
Along with a release date announcement and a killer Halsey performance it was also revealed by Blizzard that pre-orders of Diablo 4 will come with a WoW mount surprise. Anyone who pre-orders the standard edition of Diablo 4, set for release June 6, 2023. The bonus is a renewal of brand synergy between Diablo and World of Warcraft, with past in-game items including the likes of the Mini Tyrael pet.
Pre-order Diablo, get mount
Revealed in a recent datamine, players who pre-order the next installment in the legendary Diablo franchise will receive the WoW flying mount Amalgam of Rage. This non-Dragonriding mount features multiple heads, flaming wings, and some unique animations when mounting or standing idle. The mount takes on the visage of multiple legendary beasts, including Cerberus, a manticore, and the flaming wings of the Balrog. Maybe it couldn't decide what it wanted to be and just went with 'all of the above.'
When mount? WHEN?
To answer your two biggest questions: No, the mount is not a pre-order bonus, but instead appears included with all versions of the game. Second, the mount will become available immediately upon pre-order, so have no fear of wondering when your new flying friend will arrive to strike fear in the hearts of Azeroth citizens. Pre-order Diablo 4, get a free WoW mount. Easy.
