This beta is very similar to the first: you’ll be able to play all classes and go through Act 1 and explore the Frozen Peaks zone. But the goal with this test is to push the servers to their limits so the devs can make sure we have a good launch day.

I thought the previous beta gave the game a good stress test, with long login queues and server stability issues, such as characters “rubber-banding” and not being able to leave an area - if they could log in and stay logged in at all. That means if you have a chance, you should make the time to log in so Blizzard can see how the servers hold up under a crush of players. The devs refer to this short beta as a “Server Slam,” and it’s intended to be a stress test. The next Diablo 4 beta test is from May 12 – 14, starting at 12pm pacific on Friday and lasting until 12pm pacific on Sunday. We’re getting close to Diablo 4’s release date, and the game went through a round of beta testing in March - but now we’re gearing up for another round of Diablo 4 beta testing.

Update: The Diablo 4 beta is now over, but we’ll all get to play when the game launches on June 6!
