Summary
Diablo 4players may be able to obtain Frostmourne, the iconic weapon of the Lich King inWorld of Warcraft, once Season 5 begins. Models resembling this terrifying blade were discovered on the Season 5 Public Test Realm, suggesting fans might be able to obtain them in the nextDiablo 4update.
From now until July 2,Diablo 4is holding its second PTR run for Season 5. The upcoming update is currently expected to arrive in August, and will add new challenges, items, and questlines to keep players occupied untilDiablo 4: Vessel of Hatredlaunches on October 8.
However,Diablo 4fans may be able to pick up a certain legendary sword fromWorld of Warcraftin the next season. While checking out theDiablo 4Season 5 PTR servers,Wowhead uncovered two new modelsthat bear a striking resemblance to Frostmourne, the blade of the Lich King inWorld of Warcraft. The exact purpose of these items is currently a mystery, as it could be a cash shop cosmetic, a Legendary weapon, or something else entirely, but it seems likely that players will be able to wield Frostmourne inDiablo 4soon – and with two models, possibly in both a one- and two-handed version.
Frostmourne in Diablo 4 Season 5
Frostmourne is one of themost iconic weapons inWarcraftlore. The fell blade led Prince Arthas down the road to damnation, where he eventually wielded it as the Lich King. The blade was destroyed duringWrath of the Lich King, but later reforged into the Blades of the Fallen Prince by Frost Death Knights inLegion. Ironically, there is no way to wield Frostmourne directly inWorld of Warcraftitself, meaningDiablo 4could be the first place where players could do so.
This isn’t the first time the Lich King’s armaments have appeared inDiablo 4. In October 2023,Diablo 4offered the Invincible Aspect mount cosmeticsin the cash shop. This allowed fans to transform their mount into Invincible, one of the rarest mounts inWoW, and equip them with a replica of Frostmourne and the Helm of Domination. However, if this new weapon is added, players might actually be able to wield the sword, rather than just display it as a trophy.
Season 5 ofDiablo 4is expanding the types of weapons certain classes are able to wield, with Druids able to use polearms, one-handed swords, and daggers, Necromancers getting maces and axes, and Sorcerers unlocking one-handed swords and maces. If Frostmourne does become available as a one-handed sword, every current class inDiablo 4will be able to use it.
