Players who can't wait for the game's official release can now preload the Diablo 4 beta and try it out before anyone else. Here's everything you need to know about the Diablo 4 beta release date, rewards, classes, and more.
How to Preload the Diablo 4 Beta
To preload the Diablo 4 beta, launch the Battle.net client and navigate to the "All Games" tab. Look for the Diablo 4 game page and click "Install." You can also visit the Diablo 4 beta page on the official Blizzard website for more information.
Beta Access Periods
The Diablo 4 beta will be available in two phases. The early access period starts on March 17 and ends on March 20, while the open beta starts on March 24 and ends on March 27. Players who have pre-ordered Diablo 4 or have a Blizzard account in good standing can participate in the early access period. The open beta is available to everyone who wants to try it out.
Diablo 4 Classes
During the beta, players can access three revamped Diablo 4 classes: Barbarian, Rogue, and Sorceress. They can create up to ten characters and explore different builds and playstyles. Each class has unique abilities and skills, and players can experiment with different combinations to find their favorites.
Beta Rewards
Players who participate in the Diablo 4 beta can earn three rewards that will carry over to the full game once the Diablo 4 release date is reached. These include the "Initial Casualty" title for reaching the city of Kyovashad, the "Early Voyager" title for reaching level 20, and the Wolf Pack cosmetic for surpassing multiple characters over level 20.
Encounter Ashava, the Four-Legged Monster
Players who want to test their skills can also face off against Ashava, a four-legged monster covered in spikes and scales. To do so, go to Fractured Peaks at specific times on March 18th and 25th. Be ready for a tough fight!
System Requirements and Mythic Items
Before diving into the Diablo 4 beta, make sure your system meets the minimum requirements to run the game smoothly. You should also learn about mythic items in Diablo 4 and plan your equipment acquisition strategy to gain an advantage over other players.
