Anticipation Resurrected

It’s no secret among our staff here that Diablo II is one of my fave games of all time and even though I was absolutely stoked to participate in the alpha earlier this year, I went into with realistic expectations that it may, well, suck. Luckily for me, and gamers, everywhere the game is on track to be a near-perfect mix of both old and new. The full release just can’t come soon enough for myself and the fans that I have spoken with.

While we wait for the full release, the team at Blizzard has released detail on the upcoming early access and open beta periods for both PC and consoles. Below the map shows the release dates and times per global time zones for both betas.

While the original alpha was PC only with a select few classes, you can now sink your teeth into the Druid and Paladin classes as well. Hopefully, that frealy looking Amazon model has been updated as well. You can check out the full blog post from Blizzard for more details and also the extremely helpful FAQ section for even more clarification on access, qualifying for the betas, etc. If you miss footage from the alpha, check out our video below.

See you in Hades my friends…
