What are the chances of getting a closed beta key on this for those having registered?

Pretty slim I think unless your ID has contributed a lot of gaming activity (my guess). So far I have registered for multiple games but got invite only for D2 Resurrected.

Leaks and rumors about a surprise 6th class reveal expected at The Game Awards (Dec 8th) along with release date, preorders etc. Stay tuned.

Promising reviews for the preview. :smile:

PC Gamer - Blizzard's long-awaited sequel is extroadinarily satisfying to play within minutes.

Gamespot - Diablo IV is quick to differentiate itself from its predecessors in almost every way, while intelligently iterating on new series staples with ideas that put freedom of play at the center.

Engagdet - This feels worryingly good. Don't fail me now, Blizzard.

PlayStation Blog - A more expansive, customizable loot-filled adventure. Journey through the Sanctuary with even greater freedom to play and look how you want.

NME - A hell of a good time. An unexpected delight, 'Diablo 4' is light on new ideas but a much-needed refinement of dungeon crawl design.

Push Square - 20 hours of Diablo 4 on PS5 has us believing in Blizzard's latest trip to Hell.

IGN - RIP to my free time. Diablo 4 feels like a massively plussed-up version of Diablo 2, which is the best-case scenario for it, in my book. Not that it ignores Diablo 3 – there are clear notes taken from the best of that game too – but tonally and artistically, it leans more heavily into the Diablo 2 playbook. Regardless, this is going to be a huge game by any definition.

Eurogamer - I've spent 10 hours with Diablo 4 and I'm sold - it's been worth the wait. Hell it's great!

CNET - Diablo 4 takes bleakness to a new level -- in a good way. Be ready to be disturbed.

Polygon - Diablo 4 is taking itself very seriously. The dark atmosphere of the next main Diablo game is more engrossing than expected.

GameRant - Delightfully Dreadful!

The Sun - A darker take on the devil!

With this amount of hype, expectations and initial impressions, they need to do A LOT BETTER during the release to avoid launch day server issues. Overwatch 2 launch was a catastrophe. D2 Resurrected was a mess which I witnessed myself (long queues, character rollbacks, progression lost, server login issues etc.)

Note: For the first time, game is not bundled in the box, hence it is not a CE, rather a CB (collector's box). Game has to be purchased separately at Battle.net whichever edition you prefer.

134$ and no game ? Ridiculous in my opinion. But fans will buy nonetheless.

Yeah, I mean how hard is it to include the game, all they have to do is print a code on a card and add it to the box.

I have a different opinion here. While I understand the fact that the collector's box gives an "incomplete" feel, this is a smart move by Blizzard in terms of manufacturing and reducing the number of SKUs for different platforms as well as giving the freedom to the user to buy the game edition they actually need. Otherwise, they'd have to print different key labels, different packing costs per platform and on top of it, they would have to force a particular edition of the game on the user even if the user doesn't care about cosmetics.
