Leaked images of what is allegedly Diablo 4's in-game cosmetic store have revealed some hefty price tags, and it is causing some concern among fans of Blizzard's ARPG series.

Diablo IV has received rave reviews ahead of its early access launch on June 2, but what hasn't been officially disclosed as of yet is how much some of the game's microtransactions will cost. Fans anticipating Diablo IV have known for quite some time that Blizzard's new ARPG would include a microtransaction store, one that Blizzard has stressed will be for cosmetics only.

Thanks to leaked images allegedly of Diablo IV's in-game store posted to Reddit, fans now have a better idea of what to expect from the game's optional cosmetics. One image shows a set of armor for the Necromancer selling for around 2,800 platinum, Diablo IV's premium currency. Blizzard has previously stated that the game's premium battle pass would sell for around 1,000 platinum, which is the equivalent of roughly $10. That means the cosmetic armor set in the leaked image costs around $28. Another image shows the price of an in-game mount and armor set at 1,600 platinum, or $16.

Fans point out that it's rare that players can buy the exact amount of a premium currency they want, meaning players in Diablo IV will likely need to buy $30 or $20 worth of platinum in order to buy the $28 or $16 cosmetics respectively.
