Let’s be honest, cosmetics in Diablo 4 have never exactly been exciting, especially because of the extremely high price they usually cost.
Most of the time, the rare bundles they made felt like a way to repackage the more forgettable skins. You would get a slight discount, sure, but on cosmetics that did not really stand out to begin with. Easy skip.
But the shop bundles this season are a bit different.
Finally, Bundles With the Good Stuff
Instead of basic bundles with low-tier cosmetics, Blizzard really grouped together some of the more desirable items this time, especially the pet backpack cosmetics.
These are the ones where your character carries a small companion in a basket on their back:
- Barbarian gets a baby Polar Bear
- Druid a baby Owl
- Necromancer gets the cutest baby Goat
- Sorcerer a baby Wild Cat
- Rogue some type of Ferret
Sadly, there is none for the Spiritborn and the Paladin. On top of this bundle, you also have a few other Mega-Bundles that contain skins for multiple classes.
The pets have been among the best cosmetic additions in the game, but also fairly expensive on their own. Now, they are bundled together for around 2800 Platinum (~$20-30), and it is honestly the first time the pricing feels somewhat reasonable.
Similar for the skin bundles. You basically get multiple skins for the usual price of one. If you are lucky, some people also seem to have Pet bundles in their shops, but those are more pricey regardless.
Themed Class Bundles
Other class-specific bundles go beyond just armor skins and focus on specific accessories for each class!
Some include:
- Portals
- Weapon skins
- Back accessories
- Full visual themes tied to a class
They are not discounted like the other bundles, but if you mainly play one class, these packs finally feel like a nice addition instead of just thrown together. It is a good way to get your character dressed up before Lord of Hatred! New exclusive cosmetics will most likely be added with the expansion as well, but most likely not discounted.
Still Just Cosmetics, But a Step Up
At the end of the day, nothing here changes gameplay. If you did not care about cosmetics before, this will not suddenly convert you, but compared to previous shop rotations, this is easily one of the better ones. You have more appealing items, better bundle value, and actual effort in content.
Not groundbreaking, but definitely a step in the right direction concerning the shop.
