Blizzard has confirmed early access release dates and times for the highly anticipated action-RPG Diablo IV, which will be released later this year.

The early access release of Diablo IV will be available on Thursday, June 1, at 4pm PT, while the regular release will be on Monday, June 5, at 4pm PT.

The Diablo IV beta was a massive success for Blizzard, breaking franchise records and signalling that the game’s official release will be huge.

Many fans have been very optimistic about the game’s beta. Still, there were some concerns, so hopefully, Blizzard can address those at the June launch.

Just like fans had to pre-order Diablo IV to get access to the first beta, those who want to play the entire game early will have to pre-order the Deluxe or Ultimate edition of the game. This will give players access to the game on Thursday, June 1, at 4 pm. Mike Ybarra of Blizzard recently confirmed this. Those who don’t care about early access can start playing on Monday, June 5. This will be one day earlier than previously rumoured. So game fans may want to adjust their calendars accordingly. However, the official release date for the game is still technically Tuesday, June 6. So don’t expect to see it on store shelves until then.

When will Diablo IV be released?

• Early Access: June 1 at 4 pm PT
• Launch: June 5 at 4 pm PT

Players will have access to five classes when the game launches in June. These are Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue and Sorcerer. According to beta data, the Necromancer and Sorcerer classes are the most popular among fans.

Now that Diablo fans have had the opportunity to try out all the different classes for themselves during the game’s beta testing period, it is possible that players will choose different classes, and the most popular class will change.

After the beta tests, it seems that many Diablo IV players felt that the Druid needed work. The wizard, on the other hand, has become too strong a class. Blizzard may change things about the classes based on beta feedback. So it will definitely be interesting to see how things develop at launch. Fortunately, the game’s release date is just around the corner, so fans won’t have to wait much longer to play it again.
