Are you excited about the upcoming release of Diablo IV? The latest addition to the Diablo series promises to bring players back to Sanctuary to battle against Lilith, one of the Great Evils and mother of the world. The game is set to release this June on PC and consoles, but Blizzard is giving fans a chance to try it out early through two beta periods.
- Where To Find All Diablo 4 Stronghold Locations – The Panther Tech
- How to find All Diablo 4 Waypoint Locations – Fractured Peaks Teleport Waypoints – The Panther Tech
- Where To Find Fiend Rose in Diablo 4 – The Panther Tech
- Malnok Stronghold Diablo 4 Quest – The Panther Tech
Beta Periods: What You Can Expect
The beta weekends will allow players to experience the prologue and Act 1 of the game, as well as explore the Fractured Peaks area and take down a world boss called Ashava. During the early access weekend, players can level up to Level 25 with their chosen character. The best part? All progress gained during the beta tests will carry over to the open beta weekend.
Progress Transfer: Early Access to Open Beta
But, what happens to your progress once the game is officially released? Unfortunately, Blizzard has confirmed that any progress made during the beta will be deleted once the game launches on June 6. This means that players will have to start over if they want to continue playing Diablo 4 after the beta weekend.
If you’re planning on transferring your progress from the early access weekend to the open beta weekend, keep in mind that you won’t be able to obtain any rewards unlocked during the first weekend. These rewards include titles like “Initial Casualty” and “Early Voyager,” as well as a cosmetic item called the “Beta Wolf Pack.”
While completing challenges during the beta can unlock a few cosmetic items, they won’t give players a significant advantage when the game officially launches. It’s important to keep this in mind if you plan on investing a lot of time into the beta.
Gameplay: Instanced Dungeons and Shared World
Blizzard hasn’t released many details about how the game will run during the beta, but they have stated that dungeons will be instanced. This means that players will need a constant internet connection to join together in a shared world. While you can participate in key story moments with your party, you may encounter other players roaming around towns or participating in world events.
To balance the shared world with random player encounters, Blizzard is working on a system that will ensure key story moments are experienced privately between players, while large world events will require coordination with other players.
Conclusion
Overall, the beta is a great opportunity for players to get a taste of what’s to come in Diablo IV before its official release. With the beta period fast approaching, fans can’t wait to see what other surprises Blizzard has in store for us.
