Diablo 4 Is Expected To Add More Pets In Season 9!
According to some reliable information, Diablo 4 is expected to add 3 new pets for players to obtain in Season 9. Their appearance style is very consistent with the dark theme of the game. Here we will introduce their specific details and possible methods of obtaining them.
According to some informed players, Diablo 4 is expected to add three new pets in Season 9 Sins of the Horadrim. Although updating some pets in each new season has become a common routine for the game developers to retain the player base, adding three at a time when the game content is greatly changed will still surprise some players.
According to the revelations, compared with the pets provided to players in Season 8, they have more dark styles that match the tone of the game. In order to let more players know more about them, this guide will specifically introduce these pets added in S9, as well as the methods of acquiring them which may be implemented therein.
About New Pets
From some leaked pictures, it can be seen that the types of pets added this time are likely to be goats and hounds: the first is just a brown and white goat, the second is a hellish goat with black fur and a little red light on its body, and the last one is a bit like a hellhound, with red eyes and a terrifying appearance.
Based on Diablo 4’s treatment of decorative items such as pets in previous seasons, it can be speculated that the first pet is likely to appear in the final reward of the player’s season journey; the second one is likely to require you to spend some Diablo 4 Gold at the supplier; the last one may appear in Premium Pass Reliquary, which was newly added in S8.
Although there is no difference in level and effectiveness between pets, judging from their appearance, the developers may attach much more importance to hellish goats and hellhounds than the most common brown and white goats, so all players can get it for free, while the other two require some effort or cost to obtain.
And given that in the current Diablo 4 Season 8, three of the four new pets require players to spend more Platinum to obtain them from different reliquaries, so the hellhound with a more noble temperament is likely to appear in Beasts Reliquary in Season 9.

How To Unlock Pets?
As with previous seasons, unlocking playable pets in Diablo 4 Season 9 is done by completing Faithful Companion quest. From Kyovashad’s waypoint, head northwest until you see Well-Behaved Dog.
This quest is completed by interacting with the dog and selecting Who’s a good dog? and claiming Aheara as your first pet. You can then equip and equip your pets in the game as specified in the game, which you can equip, unequipped, or changed in your Wardrobe.
As mentioned above, these pets do not provide any upgrades to your character, so you can choose whichever you want. Likewise, they will not help you in combat, but after it ends, they can help you pick up rewards such as D4 Gold, herbs, gem fragments, and crafting materials faster. In that way, you’re less likely to miss out on the loot.
Of course, all the information released in the player community and on social media is speculation, so it is subject to change before S9 officially enters Diablo 4 on July 1st. However, players’ expectations for this new pet are expected to exceed the new game mechanics brought by S9. I wish you a happy game!
