The Microsoft Store has struck again. This time around, the tech giant's digital video games distribution platform has leaked the release date of the incoming action RPG, Diablo 4.
As spotted by the ever-vigilant leaker, Alumia_Italia, Diablo 4 is set to come out on June 5, 2023 and will clock in at 80GB. This is in line with earlier reports claiming that Diablo 4 will be out anytime between April and June. However, since this isn't official information, we'll just have to wait for Blizzard Entertainment to unveil the release date at The Game Awards on December 8.
Diablo 4 has been one of the most highly anticipated games of recent years. It was delayed to its current release date to give Blizzard more time to iron out kinks. Now that it's set to launch sometime next year, we're starting to get more info about the upcoming installment in the storied franchise. Most likely, Microsoft will confirm Diablo 4 as a Game Pass launch title even though Microsoft still isn't the new owners of Activision Blizzard.
So far, all the things we've heard about Diablo 4 are positive. The journalists and influencers who've had a chance to check out Diablo 4 ahead of everyone else are singing the game all the praises (or is it incantations?) albeit one of the most common criticisms is optimization, or the lack thereof.
