Diablo 4 This month, the game is set to expand with the release of its first major expansion, Ships of Hate. The add-on will be available on October 7, and while the base game for Diablo IV is on Game Pass, the expansion is a premium add-on available on all versions of the game on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
Containers of Hate is available in several editions, including a collector’s edition called the Ultimate Edition. In this article, we’ll summarize them to help you decide which version is best for you. Diablo IV is available through Game Pass, but subscribers must purchase Vessel of Hatred directly. However, Game Pass subscribers can save 10%, which is a nice silver lining that brings the price down a bit.
Pre-order Diablo IV: Hateship Standard Edition
$40 (or $36 with Game Pass Ultimate)
The standard edition of Hateship contains only the expansion itself and nothing more. However, those who pre-order the expansion will receive two bonuses: the snow leopard pet Alko (available in Diablo IV) and the Mother’s Lament legendary gem (available in Diablo Immortal). Both pre-order bonuses unlock instantly in their respective games.
Pre-order Diablo IV: Hateship Ultimate Edition
$90 (or $81 with Game Pass Ultimate)
The bundle includes the expansion pack and the aforementioned pre-order bonus, as well as a one-month subscription to Game Pass Ultimate (also available only to pre-orderers). For those who didn’t pre-order, they will receive the Nahantu Veilwalker Spiritborn armor and have immediate access to these items in Diablo IV:
- Hratli, dog pet
- Natalia, pet tiger
- Nahantu War Cat Mount and Armor Set
- Nahantu Unearthed Armor Pack (Level 5 Armor Set)
- cursed wings cosmetics
- Wings of Faith Cosmetics
- Nahantu Theme Town Portal
- 3,000 Platinum
- One Seasonal Premium Battle Pass Token
Pre-order the Diablo IV: Hateship expansion pack
$70 (or $56 with Game Pass Ultimate)
The bundle includes copies of Diablo IV and Containers of Hate, as well as the aforementioned pre-order bonuses.
If you need more Diablo in your life, Amazon is selling the Art of Diablo collection. The standard version was launched in July, and the limited edition will be available on November 5.
