Pre-purchases are open for Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred and start at $39.99 for the base edition, going up to $59.99 for Deluxe, and $89.99 for the Ultimate version. The latter also contains one month of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, but only if you pre-order the expansion’s Ultimate edition. While this is a hefty price to pay for a DLC, given how ambitious Blizzard seems about it, it’s not out of the ordinary.
