Basically, the Closed Beta of Diablo 4 is under a strict NDA, which is a confidentiality agreement. However, it seems that this is currently being broken in droves.
What is this Beta? Allegedly, the Closed Beta of Diablo 4 has been running for some days now, at least according to reports from some fans.
Blizzard officially announced, that specifically Endgame content of Diablo 4 is to be tested and the invitations will be sent out by November 18th. So, at least time-wise, it would fit.
Now, some alleged players are taking advantage of the situation to share their impressions ahead of time with others – some more extensively than others. Because actually, no one is allowed to talk about it or share their impressions yet.
We have embedded official gameplay for 3 of the 5 classes in the upcoming Diablo 4 here for you:
Fans are collecting over 5 hours of leaked gameplay from the Beta
This is what the fans say: Since no one is allowed to talk about the Beta, a general gathering of opinions is difficult. Threads keep popping up on social media like reddit where alleged testers praise Diablo 4. Some even jokingly remark that they break the NDA just to say they think the game is great.
Twitter, reddit, and YouTube are actively working to quickly shut down gameplay leaks, and in the subreddit of Diablo 4, the moderators have even imposed an official ban on Beta information under NDA.
Nonetheless, there are some threads where players are collecting leaked gameplay. Videos totaling over 5 hours can be seen there. However, most of it is in Chinese or other languages that we cannot translate.
At first glance, there seems to be little information in the videos that hasn’t already emerged from the major 43-minute leak from the Alpha of Diablo 4. It appears that skill systems and characters of various classes can be seen.

According to some voices, Diablo 4 feels like a real Diablo, reports MeinMMO reader Ninenek. Whether this is good or bad, everyone has to decide for themselves.
There are even some streamers who stream Diablo 4 on Twitch – sometimes without gameplay in an attempt to circumvent an NDA breach. However, these streams often disappear as quickly as corresponding videos on YouTube and Co.
Can I test it myself? In principle, yes, but the registration deadline for the current beta has already passed. If you registered for it, check your email inbox or your Battle.net client to see if you have been invited and can download the beta.
Since Endgame content is being tested, primarily experienced players with many hours of gameplay in Diablo 3, Diablo 2 Resurrected, or Diablo Immortal are supposed to be invited. If this is the case for you, check whether you have already been accepted.
However, be careful with emails regarding potential scams and do not click on unknown links. Usually, the email only points you to the access you would otherwise simply find in the client.
By the way, we strongly advise against breaking the NDA. Blizzard can usually easily trace who does not comply with the rules and take consequences:
