Release dates hardly mean anything these days, as most games become available much sooner with their beta stages. Despite not offering the final product, they tend to be quite close to the real deal, and one is about to start for Diablo 4.
Diablo 4’s full version will become available for download on June 6, but fans eager to play the game early will get to do just that with the launch of the open beta this weekend.
When does the Diablo 4 beta start?
Diablo 4’s first closed beta kicked off at 11am CT on Friday, March 17 for players with Early Access, and the upcoming open beta will follow the same formula. If you missed out on the closed beta experience and are eager to play, you can expect the second open beta to start at 11am CT on Friday, March 24.
The early access period will conclude on Monday, March 27, 2pm CT.
Diablo 4’s Open Beta client is rolling out on all the eligible platforms. To make sure, navigate to Battle.net or your respective game store and type in Diablo 4. It’s often recommended to preload releases so you can jump into the action when the servers go live.
Considering the surprises the devs may have for players, it might be an idea to take a step back from Hardcore Diablo 4 gaming due to time limitations. Unless you’d like to challenge yourself, exploring more of the game will likely be a priority for most Diablo fans.
