Blizzard has recently confirmed the exact release time for Diablo 4, and it seems that the highly anticipated game is set to arrive as scheduled in June.
The creators have even specified the start times of the servers, and there’s even better news for owners of the more expensive editions – they will get to play four days earlier than the rest of the players.
Unlike Steam, where gamers often have to wait until the afternoon to start playing new releases, Diablo 4 players will be able to start shortly after midnight, unless they decide to stay up all night and dive right into the latest installment of the popular series.
Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra made the announcement on Twitter, clarifying his earlier statement from the end of March, in which he mistakenly confused the time zones and changed Friday to Thursday in some parts of the world. This time, the release date and time have been confirmed for all hardware platforms, including PC and consoles.
Players who own the more expensive Deluxe and Ultimate editions will be able to play first, with early access starting on June 2 at 7 PM ET. The rest of the players will join four days later on June 6, at the same time.
For those who are interested, the Ultimate edition (priced at €99.99) includes not only early access but also two mounts, horse armor, the “Maker’s Wings” emote, and skins that can be used in World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, and Diablo Immortal.
The Ultimate edition also comes with the Premium Battle Pass unlocked, which is the paid version that will provide players with more cosmetic rewards than the free version.
Additionally, 20 tiers of this Battle Pass will already be unlocked at launch, and players will receive an “accelerated” version of it, which means they will level up faster.
The Mid Digital Deluxe Edition (priced at €89.99) includes all of the bonuses mentioned above, except for the 20 levels of the unlocked pass and the “Maker’s Wings” emote. The standard edition, which is priced at €69.99 and provides access to the game from June 6, is also available.
Overall, it seems that Diablo 4 fans are in for a treat, with the game set to arrive on schedule and with some exclusive bonuses for those who opt for the more expensive editions.
With just two months to go until the game’s debut, players are eagerly awaiting the chance to explore the dark and dangerous world of Sanctuary once again.
