WoW Midnight Intro Unlocks Diablo IV Pet in Surprise Cross-Game Reward

World of Warcraft and Diablo are crossing paths once again.

Players jumping into WoW: Midnight early access are discovering that completing the expansion’s intro questline doesn’t just unlock rewards in Azeroth — it also grants a special cosmetic in Diablo IV.

The unexpected cross-game reward is already getting attention from fans of both franchises.

Complete Midnight Intro to Unlock Diablo IV Pet

Blizzard has confirmed that players who complete the Midnight introduction and earn the “Echoes of Midnight” achievement will unlock an exclusive pet in Diablo IV.

The reward:
Bawkhaus, a fiery chicken companion that carries the dark aesthetic of the Midnight expansion into Sanctuary.

The pet becomes available in Diablo IV once the achievement is earned in World of Warcraft, linking progression between the two games.

A Growing Cross-Game Reward Trend

Cross-game rewards have become increasingly common across major live-service titles, and Midnight continues that trend by connecting the Warcraft and Diablo universes.

Players who participate in both games benefit from:

• Exclusive cosmetics

• Shared progression rewards

• Limited-time crossover bonuses

• Incentives to explore multiple Blizzard titles

For longtime fans of both franchises, it’s another example of the growing shared ecosystem between Blizzard games.

Community Reaction to the Crossover

The Diablo IV pet reward has quickly become one of the more talked-about surprises from Midnight’s early access launch.

Players are sharing screenshots of the unlock across social media and comparing how quickly they can complete the intro questline to secure the crossover reward. For completionists and collectors, it adds another reason to jump into the expansion early.

With both World of Warcraft: Midnight and upcoming Diablo IV updates arriving close together, cross-game promotions like this are likely to continue.

More Rewards Expected as Midnight Expands

As Midnight continues rolling out toward its full global launch and first seasonal content updates, additional promotions and unlockables may still appear.

For now, players exploring Azeroth’s newest storyline can earn a small but memorable bonus waiting for them in Sanctuary — proving that even across different worlds, Blizzard’s universes remain closely connected.
