Diablo 4 joins GTA 6 as 40 minutes of footage leaks

Another, much meatier, Diablo 4 leak involves over 40 minutes of footage from the private alpha leak online.

However, it’s speculated that the footage is taken from a private alpha test restricted to just friends and family of Blizzard employees. Most likely the same one that saw a much smaller leak last month.

People can be heard talking over the footage (albeit with their voices distorted), but their conversation suggests they aren’t the ones playing and are instead watching someone else stream it.

It’s not clear whether they actually know the person playing, since one of them says ‘Are you watching Skye right now? … Watch Skye right now.’ Another, however, asks who the player is and is told ‘I don’t know but I’ve been watching for a while.’
