- Only one code per customer
- Diablo IV is the next-gen action RPG experience with endless evil to slaughter, countless abilities to master, nightmarish Dungeons, and legendary loot.
- Embark on the campaign solo or with friends, meeting memorable characters through beautifully dark settings and a gripping story, or explore an expansive end game and shared world where players can meet in towns to trade, team up to battle World Bosses, or descend into PVP zones to test their skills against other players - no lobbies necessary - with cross-play and cross-progression on all available platforms.
Did the Diablo 4 Collector’s Box include the game?
No. Blizzard said the Limited Collector’s Box did not include a copy of Diablo IV; the game was a separate purchase. The physical box’s announced contents were the Candle of Creation, a cloth map of Sanctuary, an Occult Mousepad, the Pin of the Horadrim, two fine-art prints, and a Diablo IV Collector’s Edition Art Book described as having more than 300 pages of concept art. The announcement establishes the box’s contents when announced, not its present availability or whether the art book is sold separately. [Blizzard’s Collector’s Box announcement]
