Blizzard's Biggest Sale of the Year is Here
Blizzard Entertainment just dropped its yearly Battle.net Summer Sale, and we've combed through every deal to find what's worth your cash. From what we've seen, this is the best time to grab that game you've been eyeing or pick up some extra content for your favorite franchise. The discounts hit up to 67% off, which matches the highest mark we spotted in previous years.
We tested the sale ourselves — everything works through the standard Battle.net client. There's no secret code or special link to hunt down. Just log in, browse the shop, and the reduced prices show up right away. Simple stuff.
Warcraft Deals: Grab Reforged and WoW Goodies
Warcraft III: Reforged sits at 50% off, dropping the price to a cool $14.99. If you missed this real-time strategy classic the first time around, now's a solid entry point. World of Warcraft players get some love too — select mounts, pets, toys, and transmog skins are up to 50% off. That includes some flashy dragon mounts we've seen in previous sales.
Character services for both modern and classic WoW hit 33% off. That covers faction changes, server transfers, and race changes. If you've been thinking about swapping sides in The War Within prepatch, this is your moment.
Diablo Discounts: Big Savings on Hellish Adventures
Diablo II: Resurrected leads the pack with a whopping 67% off markdown. That brings it down to roughly $13.19 from its usual $39.99 price tag. We tested the remaster last year — it runs smooth, supports cross-progression, and keeps that classic loot grind intact.
Diablo III and its Reaper of Souls expansion are both half off. If you've only played Diablo IV, consider picking up D3 for a different flavor of demon-slaying. The Nephalem Rifts offer endless replayability, and the sets are a blast to build around.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and More
The Call of Duty section has the widest range of discounts:
– Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II — 50% off
– Call of Duty: Vanguard — 60% off
– Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War — 67% off
We recommend MWII if you want the current-gen experience with better movement and graphics. Vanguard is a steal at 60% off if you're into WWII shooters, but note its player count is lower. Black Ops Cold War ties into the Zombies mode nicely, and its campaign is one of the better ones in recent years.
StarCraft: Remastered and Campaign Collection Deals
StarCraft: Remastered is half off at just $7.49. This is the gold standard for RTS remasters — crisp 4K visuals, rebuilt audio, and full multiplayer support. The Campaign Collection for StarCraft II is down 25%, bringing it to $29.99. That includes all three campaigns plus the Nova Covert Ops packs.
If you're new to the series, grab the Campaign Collection. We played through Wings of Liberty last month, and it holds up beautifully. The story is tight, the units are balanced, and the difficulty scales well from casual to brutal.
How Does This Compare to Other Sales?
The Battle.net Summer Sale stacks up well against Steam's seasonal events. Blizzard rarely drops prices below 50% for major titles, so seeing Diablo II: Resurrected at 67% off is unusual. By contrast, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II still sees 50% off on Steam, but Battle.net offers the same discount without competing storefront fees.
Steam's summer sale might offer broader variety, but Blizzard‘s platform gives you direct access to World of Warcraft services and in-game items that other stores don't carry. If you're a WoW player, you won't find these mount and pet discounts anywhere else.
What's Not on Sale?
A few notable titles are missing from this year's lineup. Overwatch 2 does not appear to have any store discounts — the game is free-to-play, so its cosmetic shop runs on a separate cycle. Diablo IV is also absent from the sale, likely because it's still too new for a significant price drop. We're watching for a potential discount during the holiday season instead.
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, the free starter campaign, is already accessible to everyone. You don't need to buy it, but the paid Campaign Collection unlocks the full experience.
