There will be no sanctuary when Diablo IV open beta heats up in late March

gamepur.com:

Those looking to sink their teeth into Diablo IV will finally have their chance in just a little over a month. Blizzard lit up the media at IGN Fan Fest this weekend by spotlighting a new and unique in-game trailer that players will experience in the beta. This is just one of the many that will feature throughout the game. Those who pre-purchased Diablo IV will get access to the beta on March 17-19 before open beta kicks off on March 24-26, giving lucky gamers a chance to face off against the ungodly creatures plaguing Sanctuary.

During both the open beta and early access weekends that follow, players will get a taste of the early game of Diablo IV. This includes the prologue and all of the first act, which takes place in a zone called Fractured Peaks. Players are free to explore as they see fit in this open world setting.

During the beta, characters can reach a maximum level of 25. Players are able to keep adventuring once they reach the level cap, and there will be dungeons, quests, and loot to find. Of course, this is a beta and things will likely break during testing. All feedback will be collected and Blizzard will make changes as needed. The developers will also be hosting a livestream update on February 28 at 11:00 AM PT.
