Developer Blizzard Entertainment continues to hype up the Diablo IV community before the time comes to descend into the Burning Hells and participate in the world boss battles. The early access beta kicks off today, March 17, and will be running through Monday, March 20th. Meanwhile, the main open beta event will be available from March 24 through March 27th.
The latest blog post is dedicated to a new feature coming in Diablo IV: the world bosses that will give players a taste of what it’s like to engage in a battle with a monster that massive in scale, ferocity and impact and requires a group effort to down.
Taking on a world boss is an activity that involves players of all classes and where everyone can contribute and be a part of the solution. These are high-intensity fights that offer new Diablo experiences, challenges and triumphs that are aimed at all players.
“The team is extremely excited to release our World Bosses out into Sanctuary, and hopefully now you know more about the dedication the team is putting into bringing them to you. If you want to challenge Ashava yourself during the Open Beta and Early Access weekends, you can do so on March 18 and March 25 at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 10 p.m. and midnight PDT.”
ABOUT DIABLO IV:
Eons after her exile, Lilith’s summoning ushers in an age of darkness and hatred. Inarius, former archangel of the High Heavens, has also returned to the world he and Lilith created together. The two will once again cross paths, and what was built is now at risk of destruction. On June 6, 2023, players will be able to take on the role of Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, or Sorceress and traverse an expansive Sanctuary to combat the unremitting darkness enhanced by Lilith’s return.
