ABOUT DIABLO IV:
Eons after her exile, Lilith’s summoning ushers in an age of darkness and hatred. Inarius, former archangel of the High Heavens, has also returned to the world he and Lilith created together. The two will once again cross paths, and what was built is now at risk of destruction. On June 6, 2023, players will be able to take on the role of Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, or Sorceress and traverse an expansive Sanctuary to combat the unremitting darkness enhanced by Lilith’s return.
Here are some of the things you can enjoy in the open beta:
- The Open Beta features all five Classes: Sorceress, Druid, Necromancer, Barbarian and Rogue;
- Discover the first zone: treacherous, demon-infested Fractured Peaks;
- Battle against World Bosses in limited-time events;
- Reach level 20 to earn Beta Wolf Pack and more when Diablo IV launches in Summer.
