Get ready to go back to hell, because the Diablo IV open beta kicks off next month on both PC and consoles, and today Blizzard provided some new details about what to expect. The beta will come in two phases, early access and the full open beta, with the former offering access to Barbarian, Rogue, and Sorcerer, and the latter letting you play as the full roster of five classes. Players will be able to tackle the World Boss Ashava, and team up via 4-player online co-op or 2-player couch co-op on consoles. You’ll be able to create up to 10 players during the beta, and yes, progress will carry over to the full version of the game.
Blizzard’s Diablo IV team also touched on some other topics, including the game’s armor system, strongholds, and more during a lengthy developer livestream, which you can check out here (provided you have around an hour to spare). You can also check out the latest trailer showcasing Diablo IV's new open-world Sanctuary here.
