With the launch of Diablo 4 right around the corner, Blizzard has finally announced the system requirements to run their latest ARPG.
After a tumultuous start to development that was plagued with key figures leaving the team and multiple postponements, Diablo 4 is now finally nearing its launch date. After giving Diablo 4 Beta access to all the clamoring fans during March, Diablo 4 is set to launch on June 6 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
After announcing that a third beta test will take place in May, aimed to give their servers another run for their money, Blizzard has shared more information about the game. By the sound of it, the game will feature a final boss requiring a fully decked-out level 100 character to take down. Who or what this boss is has not been announced yet. Maybe an Uber variant of Lilith or some other iterative Lord of Hell. People who like their games repetitive needn’t worry, though. A season system will still be in place, allowing you to undertake this challenging fight repeatedly. Each of those seasons will obviously bring new content and features to the game.
Blizzard is also taking a note from players about what changes they will bring to the game before launch. You can read all about it in their beta feedback retrospective if you want to know more.
