Virtual pets aren’t limited to browser-based or mobile games; many other genres also incorporate virtual pets into their gameplay, with notable examples being World of Warcraft and Diablo.
In World of Warcraft, these companions are known as battle pets (or companion pets). Players can summon them and use them in the Pet Battle System. Pets can be obtained through capturing wild pets, NPC drops, quest rewards, and achievements. With over 1,000 pets available, it’s a feature that has become a favorite among collectors.
Both Diablo III and Diablo IV feature a similar pet system, where pets follow your character throughout the game. However, unlike in World of Warcraft, these pets don’t engage in combat. Instead, they serve as cosmetic companions and can be earned through events, promotions, or purchases. Pets in Diablo can be used to personalize your character and showcase achievements or dedication to seasonal content.
What other games have you played that actively incorporate a virtual pet system?
Do you think games that include a pet system enhance the appeal of the virtual pet industry?
