Diablo 4 Open Beta Dates and In-Game Cinematic Revealed; Preorders Will Grant Access to Additional Open Beta Weekend

diablo 4 second beta

With Diablo 4 releasing in a few months, Blizzard mentioned that they were going to run a beta test for the action roleplaying game before launch, and we finally know when it’s set to occur. Diablo 4 open beta dates are set from March 17 to 19 and March 24 to 26, spanning a total of two weekends next month.

Alongside the open beta date announcement, Blizzard also revealed the opening in-game cinematic for Diablo 4, which also includes your character in it:

While the open beta weekends will run twice, the first weekend on March 17 to 19 is only accessible to those who preordered Diablo 4. The following weekend is fully open, however, so you can try it out for at least a couple of days even if you haven’t preordered a copy just yet.

Players can level up to Level 25 during the open beta weekends, which is a quarter of the full level cap of 100. You will be able to play through the prologue and Act 1, which is set to take place in Fractured Peaks, a mountainous area in Sanctuary and one of the five locations in Diablo 4. It’s also worth noting that character progression is carried over between weekends, which will let players with preorders experience more of the game and story. All open beta progress will be wiped during the full release, however, to give everyone a fair playing ground.

Diablo 4 release this June 6 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
