Players want Diablo 4's Amazon for free, but expect to pay $25 or more
Blizzard has not named a price yet. The comment section on Reddit did it for them.
440 upvotes and 365 comments at the time of writing this. That is how interested Diablo 4 players are in figuring out exactly what the next class, the Amazon, will cost. Or if it will cost anything at all.
The class will release in the first half of 2027 as part of a Class Pack, the first one in Diablo 4. If that sounds familiar, Diablo 3 got the Necromancer the exact same way. Blizzard has not announced a price yet, though.
Should the Class Be Free of Charge?
The top comment in the Reddit thread states that the new class should be free of charge. It has around 890 upvotes, double the number of the Reddit post itself. Then, there is another high-voted comment (around 250 upvotes) giving the reasoning a bit more substance. It should be free because the team is abandoning Diablo 4 anyway, so it would only be fair. Right? Basically that.
There are, of course, a few more comments than just those. These range from "should be free" to "should be $10 but will probably be $20," all the way to "it will probably be bundled up with cosmetics and cost $50-90."
Diablo 3 Already Did It Before
If we look back at Diablo 3 and the Necromancer pack, that one was $15 back in 2017 and included a lot of goodies.
Now, everything is more pricey in 2026, which is unfortunate but the truth. The Amazon Class Pack will likely cost at least a little bit more, although we would all hope for it to not be the case.
Then, for another comparison, there is the Diablo 2 Resurrected (D2R) Reign of the Warlock, which costs $25 (though that DLC also came with a new endgame and quality-of-life updates, not just the class). So we would not be surprised if Amazon ends up at a similar price, perhaps around $25-30, as it is new and for their current flagship game (Diablo4). That would be for the class alone, though, as the Diablo 4 shop is known to have quite costly cosmetics. A bundle with new skins or a mount that comes with the class would likely be higher in price.
Is Diablo 4 in Maintenance Mode?
Within all the discussion about Diablo 4's Amazon Class price, there is a subthread that emerged regarding the game itself. Players argue that D4 is in maintenance mode now that Diablo 5 has been announced, so paying for a class makes no sense. However, Season 15 has surprised the community over and over again, and there are still secrets left to uncover. If Season 16 continues in a similar way, Diablo 4 is definitely not in maintenance mode yet. Blizzard also said the team is "all focused on Diablo 4 seasons and getting to Diablo 5," which is currently planned to release in spring 2029.
A few players also think Amazon was originally meant for a third Diablo 4 expansion that then became Diablo 5. That, however, is just speculation.
And then there is the worry about everything players purchased for Diablo 4. Will those cosmetics (skins, mounts, etc.) stay behind in Diablo 4, or will they carry over to Diablo 5 somehow? Blizzard has not said anything about that yet either.
Female Only, Just Like Diablo 2
The Amazon in Diablo 4 is the first gender-locked class. Naturally, some players are disappointed that there will be no male counterpart. However, Amazon being female-only has been a thing since the class's first appearance back in Diablo 2, where every class had a fixed gender.
We will find out what she costs sometime in 2027.
