Those who missed out on the closed beta program will have another chance to play Diablo 4 before launch. That might not hold for very long, given the frequency of Diablo 4-centric leaks. Thankfully, the game's ending is still a closely guarded secret. However, that didn't stop some intrepid beta testers from uploading their adventures online. It fits the overall timeline perfectly, given that Blizzard shut down the game's invite-only beta program. Now, Windows Central has narrowed it down to April 2023.ĭiablo 4 will be up for pre-order after a final trailer at The Game Awards (December 8), the report adds. A report from earlier estimated that it would be launched sometime in 2023. Although there have been multiple teasers, trailers and developer commentaries, the game still does not have a fixed release date.

More to come, though we may not hear anything official until December.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. I am not entertaining the idea that Diablo 4 is going to be an Xbox exclusive, because A) Microsoft wants those alt-platform sales and B) I don’t think this acquisition deal is going to be closed the time this game comes out anyway. Unlike Call of Duty, where past Sony deals may restrict that from coming to Game Pass for a few years, it’s unlikely anything like that applies to Diablo, and that could be a pretty massive win for Microsoft. That deal is fighting for approval in a number of countries, and while Call of Duty is the main focus, the idea is that in theory, a Microsoft-owned Blizzard would be putting console and PC versions of Diablo 4 on Game Pass, the way they do with essentially everything they own. Of course, all of this is taking place within the backdrop of Microsoft looking to acquire Activision Blizzard for nearly $70 billion.
