Diablo 4 ending closed beta test soon

The initial review of Diablo 4 has so far been a mixed bag. Players are loving the characters and the progression system. However, there have been issues with the end-game level scaling.

Beta testers have been reporting that the difficulty of dungeons ramps up too quickly. This resulted in players getting stuck in certain levels.

Thankfully, the purpose of the closed beta is to gather feedback from players and apply tweaks to the game. The information that the devs gather from gamers will be used to further streamline the experience.

While Blizzard intentionally chose to let players only access the end-game content so as to prevent spoiling the campaign, it will also benefit fans of the game. Most Diablo players spend more time on the end-game content than the story. Having a beta test for the end-game content will streamline it more toward what players want from the post-campaign activities.

After the closed beta test concludes, Blizzard will take some time to process all intel they've received and make adjustments to the game in preparation for the public beta tests. The studio has not yet given an exact date for the public beta.

We will hopefully get more information from Blizzard regarding Diablo 4 in the coming weeks. There have been rumors that Blizzard will be making a pre-order announcement for Diablo 4 at The Game Awards next month. We will also hopefully get a release date along with the pre-order announcement.

Diablo 4 is coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S sometime in 2023.
