Diablo 4’s public beta campaign will begin on March 24 and run until the 28th while pre-order players can get a sneak peek a week earlier during March 17-19 (also delayed).
The game will be available for Windows PC, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4/5 platforms, and supports cross-platform online and cross-platform progress sharing.
Currently, Diablo 4 is available for pre-order for NTD 2,219 (currently about RMB 499) for the General Edition, NTD 2,819 (currently about RMB 634) for the Digital Deluxe Edition, and NTD 3,119 (currently about RMB 702) for the Ultimate Edition.
As Microsoft’s $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard progresses, we can’t confirm that the acquisition will be completed successfully, but there are already many gamers who are looking forward to seeing popular Activision Blizzard games like the Call of Duty series in the XGP subscription service.
This is especially true for Diablo 4, which was released this year. Some people have long been expecting Diablo 4 to be included in the XGP lineup by Microsoft, which means they won’t have to pay for the game proper separately in the future, but such expectations are apparently going to fall through.
Now, Diablo 4 game general manager Rod Ferguson has made it clear that “they have no plans to do so at this time”. Of course, we think we can’t rule out the possibility of Activision Blizzard being acquired by Microsoft to change its attitude, but at least for now, it seems that players who want to experience the full version of the game first time in June will have to buy it.
