Today Activision is excited to announce that Diablo IV will be having a confidential Closed End Game Beta.
This will be the first of a few opportunities for select players to participate in testing an early version of the game on PC, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 consoles. They have decided to focus on the end game for a few reasons, but chief among those is because they don’t want to spoil the full story of Diablo IV, and for many, the end game is their favorite aspect of Diablo—they want to ensure it feels satisfying and have ample time to act on feedback.
Once their Closed Beta begins, they will be looking for community feedback on a variety of challenging end-game offerings including Helltide, Nightmare Dungeons, Whispers of the Dead, Fields of Hatred, and Paragon Boards.
