Diablo 4 Beta Launches Today - Everything You Should Know
Less than a month before the release of Diablo 4, Blizzard Entertainment has prepared a second round of open beta testing of the game for fans. So we have gathered all the most important information about the event.
The final open beta of Diablo IV will launch today, before the title's June release. This means that all players (and especially those hesitating to buy the game) will have a chance to see what changes Blizzard has made to its flagship game since the March testing.
Therefore, if you are among those interested in participating in the beta, you should familiarize yourself with the key information about the event.
Diablo 4 beta - basic information
- Start: May 12 at 9 p.m. CET
- End: May 14 at 9 p.m. CET
The second Diablo IV beta will be open to all interested parties. During the weekend, the game will be available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
Diablo 4 beta - pre-load
Pre-load of Diablo IV is now available, so if you don't want to miss a minute of the time-limited testing, it's worth preloading the game files. You can do this through PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and Battle.net. In the case of the latter option, those who do not already have an account there must download the Battle.net app, register and, by selecting the Diablo IVicon, find "Diablo IV - Server Tests" under the "Game Version" tab.
Console players should expect a download of about 70 GB, and for PC players it will be close to 85 GB.
It is worth adding that if you still have left Diablo IV installed from previous tests, you don't have to download it again. Just upload the required update.
Diablo 4 beta - game content
The latest beta of Diablo IV will not introduce any new content compared to previous tests. We will get access to all character classes, with which we will reach a maximum of level 20, and will be able to immerse ourselves in the prologue and Act I.
During the beta, it will be possible to fight the World Boss - Ashava once again. The first such chance will come on May 13 at 6 p.m. CET, and subsequent opportunities will appear every three hours.
For taking part in the tests, as before, prizes are provided (details can be found here):
- Title First Sacrifice: to be earned for reaching Kyovashad with one character.
- Title Early Explorer: to be earned for advancing one character to level 20.
- Decorative item Beta Wolf Pack: earned for advancing one character to level 20.
- Cry of Ashawa mount trophy : for defeating Ashawa with one character at level 20.
It is worth noting that after the beta ends, our progress will be deleted, even if we decide to purchase the full version of the game at its release.
As a final reminder Diablo IV will be released on June 6. The title will debut on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
