I wonder how they'll push microtransactions into D4. Comment by rinotz on T22:36:13-05:00Īlso, the release date for D4 could be announced tomorrow at the Xbox and Bethesda Game Showcase Comment by MrXtrm on T22:45:51-05:00 I just hope enough people speak out about this, though. Believe it or not, most of the MMOs I've played have been F2P and the most punished I got from doing that was having the daily rewards reset on me.

That and I found out earlier from a Youtube video that not playing everyday lowers your chances of getting legendary gems. I'd wonder if this was too soon because I thought that Immortal was still in the beta stage.

I'm glad to see that some people are excited. There will definitely be a shop to keep the servers funded, but that's nothing compared to trying to recoup developments costs AND server costs with in-game transactions like Immortal has to. You will already pay $60 for the game, unlike immortal which you pay nothing to start. but I have a very bad feeling that Diablo Immortals microtransaction hell will bleed into D4. I am okay with some cosmetics sold on the shop. I pray that they will not try to monetize it like they did with Immortal. Update: Blizzard's official press release has confirmed that Diablo 4 will also be releasing on current gen consoles including the PS4 and Xbox One. which we kind of already knew, but it doesn't hurt to reaffirm. Look for the green text to make sure you've been added!Īs an added bonus, there are also a few new screenshots featured on the main page and the site states that Diablo 4 will release on next generation consoles - Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Windows Central editor Jez Corden also recently published a preview for tomorrow's Xbox & Bethesda Showcase, which included a rumor that Diablo IV would be featured alongside other third-party developer presentations, so we may be in store for even bigger news tomorrow at 1pm Eastern. Still, we do know that company-wide internal testing has been ongoing since at least April of this year and we should be due for another quarterly update any time now. By contrast, Shadowlands beta sign ups started in February 2020, about 5 months before beta testing began, so there's not much consistency in timing. The most recent Diablo Immortal pre-registration began in April, well after the test period and about two months before the game released worldwide. Unfortunately, there's still no word on when exactly that testing may start, and this announcement doesn't give us much room to speculate. Pre-registration for Diablo IV beta testing is now available! To sign up, make sure to visit and log in using your normal Blizzard account information, then simply click the Pre-Register button and look for the green text to make sure you've entered.
