Diablo 4 Announces Final Open Beta for Next Month; Check out the Details!
Last month’s Diablo 4 open beta from Blizzard Entertainment gave everyone a bite-sized taste of what to expect from the full game. With everyone getting to try the five classes of the game, the entirety of the starting map area, and numerous dungeons, everyone wanted more. Thankfully, Blizzard heard the pleas of existing fans and newer Diablo fans, announcing a surprise ‘Server Slam’ beta for next month.
When Can You Play Diablo 4 ‘Server Slam’ Beta?
The upcoming open beta, called Server Slam, will be done in one complete phase instead of dividing it into two sessions. Earlier, the betas were divided into two sections; one for the pre-order customers, and the other was open to everyone. This time, Blizzard is dedicating two days to the beta. The server slam starts fromMay 12 to May 14, at 12 pm PDTfor bothdays.
Blizzard Entertainment will officially allow pre-loading of the title fromMay 10, 12 pm PDT, for all the platforms. Furthermore, users on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S will be able to couch co-op the game with friends. It doesn’t end there, as the beta allows cross-play and cross-progression when things start.
What to Expect From the Upcoming Diablo 4 Beta?
As usual, Blizzard plans to include many things for the upcoming beta in terms of content. During Server Slam, players can experience the following in the game:
The focus this time is on theworld boss. The previous Diablo 4 open beta had the same regions and storyline in the game. However, they appeared in the world at random times, infrequently. This time, for the Server Slam, Blizzard has fixed times for the world boss appearing in this beta.
Ashava, the world boss, will appear on the game map every three hours, starting at the beginning of the beta. So, players can band together with others in the world and take the boss down. The final spawn for the boss will take place on14thMayat 9 am PDT.
Furthermore, Blizzard has substantially balanced the characters after the first beta and the same will reflect in the Server Slam open beta for Diablo 4. Read through the changeshere. Furthermore, no progression from this beta will carry forward to the official launch of Diablo 4 on June 6th.
