Microsoft and Blizzard Entertainment team up for Diablo 4 Xbox Series Bundle

In preparation for the release of Diablo 4, Microsoft has announced a collaboration with developer Blizzard Entertainment for a special Xbox bundle. The Diablo 4 Xbox Series Bundle is now available for pre-order starting Thursday from the Microsoft Store, Best Buy, Amazon, and Target, with a release date set for June 6.

The bundle will include an Xbox Series X console with 1TB storage, a digital copy of Diablo 4, and in-game items for Diablo 3, World of Warcraft, and Diablo Immortal, as well as Diablo 4. Priced at $560, the bundle will save consumers $10 compared to purchasing the console and game separately for $500 and $70, respectively.

Diablo 4 is the latest addition to the long-standing dungeon-crawling franchise, and it has undergone significant changes to the gameplay formula. Players will be able to freely explore the open world of Sanctuary as they battle against Lilith and her army of evil forces.

Microsoft's acquisition of Activision, the parent company of Blizzard Entertainment, is in progress. The Xbox maker has agreed to a deal worth roughly $69 billion for the publisher, although it has yet to receive approval from US regulators. However, on Monday, Japan's Fair Trade Commission stated that it would not interfere with the acquisition.

The Diablo 4 Xbox Series Bundle is an excellent opportunity for fans of the franchise to experience the latest addition to the series, along with other related games, at a discounted price.
