Diablo 4 is receiving a surprise third beta test prior to the game’s June 6 release date, Blizzard Entertainment announced Thursday. The next diablo 4 items open beta is scheduled to perform from May 12 to May 14 for just a “server slam” event. Blizzard originally planned two beta weekends in March, but this really is another possible opportunity to test out the action while it’s a greater month out. (Notably, this really is The Legend of Zelda: Tears with the Kingdom’s launch weekend.)

Developers on-hand in a Diablo 4 developer update livestream on Thursday announced the modern dates toward the end of the broadcast. The beta begins on May 12 at 9 a.m. PDT and ends on May 14 at 9 a.m. PDT. All the beta rewards from previous beta weekends, such as the wolf puppy backpack, will likely be available for players. Levels will yet again be capped at 20, and Blizzard says that feedback and balance changes from your previous betas are going to be reflected in the brand-new beta.

Progress through the earlier beta weekends won't carry over on the May beta, and progress from that won’t allow it to become over to launch. Blizzard also said players will probably be able to level up to 20 — but thereafter, players will minimize earning ability points but tend to still get gear. Lastly, the Legendary drop rate is different to match that of the launch version of Diablo 4.

Blizzard Entertainment started hinting at another beta period on Wednesday after having a diablo 4 items Twitter account vaguely teased it: The Diablo account quote-tweeted an admirer saying they “need more Diablo 4 game time.” That was as well as a shifty eyes emoji from Diablo 4 global community development manager Adam Fletcher.

Diablo 4’s beta would have been a big success, drawing enough players to make “lengthy queue times” for players hoping to get onto its servers. The new beta period is probable to face those self-same issues — a stress test ahead of the actual release. The open beta client, like last time, is accessible to download from the PlayStation and Xbox Stores, and from Blizzard itself via Battle.net for PC players.

Diablo 4 is going to be released on June 6 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Players that pre-order Diablo 4 are certain to get access to the overall game as early as June 1.
