The contents of the Diablo 4 Season 5 PTR files indicate that there may be a collaboration with World of Warcraft in the works.
Despite previous appearances of Diablo 4 characters in other games, this potential crossover would mark the first instance of a different game’s item being featured in Blizzard’s ARPG.
What to Expect from the Diablo 4 x World of Warcraft Crossover
Recent discoveries of new models for the Frostmourne, the iconic sword wielded by the Lich King in World of Warcraft, have been uncovered in the files for Diablo 4, sparking rumors and speculation of a potential crossover between the two games.
The legend of the Lich King states that the Frostmourne is a powerful two-handed longsword capable of breaking through enemies and resurrecting the deceased.
Given that in Diablo 4, only Barbarians and Necromancers possess the ability to wield a longsword, it is possible that this weapon, should it be introduced into the game, would be limited to these two classes exclusively.

Despite the potential for alterations to the abilities of the Frostmourne upon its release, if Blizzard chooses to maintain its current state, Necromancers may have the opportunity to freeze foes, and Barbarians could potentially resurrect the dead.
Despite the strong likelihood that the weapon will be limited to Necromancers due to its contradiction of the core values of the Barbarian class, it is worth noting that it is the favored weapon of the Lich King and therefore would not be suitable for use by non-mages.
Based on the weapon’s widespread popularity in World of Warcraft, it is highly probable that the Frostmourne will be classified as a Unique weapon in Diablo 4.
Despite the discovery of the weapon models in the game files, there is no guarantee that it will actually be added to the game. We will provide updates on the situation as soon as any official information becomes available.
In addition to the Frostmourne, players will have the opportunity to engage in the Infernal Horde activity during Diablo 4 Season 5.
