Diablo 4 kicked down the door to my imagination and now lives there rent-free, complete with the obligatory contingent of skulls and gargoyles. The game’s imposing art style bores into your skull with the inexorable regularity of a jackhammer.

Rather, you step into the role of a character who is, despite their role as protagonist, undeniably limited and mortal. The game’s plot, art style, and mechanics all skillfully converge on a single point: the conflict between dark and light, and the poor humans who get caught up in the cosmic mess. The full release of Diablo 4 is coming June 6.Diablo 4’s commitment to the gothic is far more than purely superficial. Progress made during the beta will carry over weekend to weekend during the beta, but not to the full game, Diablo 4 game director Joe Shely said in an interview with IGN. The beta will let players take on side quests and clear dungeons beyond the story of Act 1.

Players can explore the opening zone, Fractured Peaks, and level their characters up to 25. Participants will need a account to redeem their beta code.ĭiablo 4’s open beta will consist of the game’s prologue and first act. The open beta and early access weekends will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Players who have pre-ordered Diablo 4 will get early access to the open beta on March 17-19, and the beta will be available to everyone on March 24-26. Blizzard will hold a pair of playable open beta tests for Diablo 4 in March, the developer announced Saturday, confirming that early hands-on with the action role-playing game will be available on all platforms.
