However, a more recent build of the PTR has now given players exact dates to expect this crossover. The event is actually split into two separate activities, the first being A Greedy Emissary. From May 25 through June 13, players can hunt down Treasure Goblins to earn special cosmetic rewards. Part 2, Welcome to Sanctuary, begins on June 15 and runs through July 10.

World of Warcrafthas not yet given an official announcement on this event, so the exact details are still subject to change. That said, considering the dates are perfectly timed to build hype forDiablo 4’sreleasewhile giving incentive to log intoWorld of Warcraftonce the hype starts to calm down, they probably won’t be moved around. Players can also expect more concrete details on how to earn these cosmetic rewards once Blizzard makes the official announcement.

Luckily, these fans who also playWorld of Warcraftwill have Patch 10.1,Embers of Neltharion, to distract them once it drops on May 2.
