Blizzard has updated the Diablo 4 open beta guide, the company’s own information hub surrounding the Diablo 4 beta weekends. While some of the new information added to the guide has already been covered on MP1st (such as PC requirements), it does also include Diablo 4 early download dates for the beta weekends.
As there are two beta weekends, with the first exclusive to those with Early Access, there are two different early download dates depending on whether or not you’ve preordered the game. The dates and times are as follows:
- Early Access: Wednesday, March 15 at 9 AM PDT, 12 PM ET, 4 PM GMT, 12 AM HKT (March 16)
- Open Beta: Wednesday, March 22 at 9 AM PDT, 12 PM ET, 4 PM GMT, 12 AM HKT (March 23)
For those who downloaded the game during Early Access, note that you won’t need to download Diablo 4 again for Open Beta.
Alongside some early download information, Blizzard has also announced the exact times for the Ashava world boss event.
