The second ‘server slam beta’ starts on May 12
Folks were hoping for an announcementfrom theDiablo IVApril 2023 developer update live stream: and they got it.There’s going to be anotherbeta forD4, and it starts on Jul 29, 2025.
The officialDiabloTwitter accountconfirmed the news with a simple tweet:
“We’ve heard your feedback, it’s time to visit Sanctuary once more before June. Join the Server Slam, May 12-14”
When is the secondDiablo IVbeta and what can you do in it?
That “once more” and “server slam” bits tell us a few things. It seems, without further “feedback” in play, this is the final “we promise” beta period. The official launch is just weeks away on June 6, so there wouldn’t be much time to prep and monitor another beta anyway. The phrase “server slam” also strongly hints that this is primarily a stress test to help the team calibrate for launch (crossed fingers this isn’tD3again).
Blizzard subsequently tweeted out more infoon this second public beta period, noting thatyou’ll be able to reach level 20, beat Ashava, and earn the Cry of Ashava mount trophy. To think all this was teased earlier this weekwhen that same Twitter account mysteriously alluded toanother beta. Hopefully, once June 6 hits we don’t all realize we’re collectively in another beta: but based on how high folks have been riding on the pre-release ofDiablo IV, this could be a much sleeker launch thanD3.
#DiabloIVdraws near.
We’ve heard your feedback, it’s time to visit Sanctuary once more before June.
