When does the open beta of Diablo 4 end and what happens next?

Today, on March 27, the Open Beta of Diablo 4 ends. MeinMMO reveals when you can still play, what happens afterwards, and when you can play again.

When does the Open Beta end? On Monday, March 27, the servers will shut down at 9:00 PM German time. However, during the first beta test, you were able to play for about 20 minutes longer.

If you want to get the absolute maximum out of the beta, just stay online as long as possible. You probably won’t get kicked out of the game, but at some point, opponents and abilities may no longer respond to you, or you may not be able to switch areas.

We cover the Open Beta in a live ticker. There you will find the latest information on issues, connections, and the upcoming end of the beta.

In our overview, you will find all information about the Open Beta of Diablo 4. We have captured our first impressions in a video for you:

What happens after the beta? Once the beta ends, all accounts will be reset. This means: Any progress will be lost; there will be a wipe. Characters, along with their levels and equipment, will be deleted.

If you have played at least one character to level 20, you will receive some rewards. However, these will only be activated with the release of Diablo 4 on June 6.

Blizzard is also using the feedback from the beta to make improvements to the game. Login queues and bugs are expected to be significantly better at launch. The developers also want to work on balance.

In the beta, there was a lot of criticism of the Druid, which many players found too weak. However, we still do not know what specific changes will be made.

When can I play again? Diablo 4 will be released on June 6 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. No further beta test is planned before that, so you will have to wait another 2 months.

If you pre-order one of the more expensive editions of Diablo 4, you will have 4 days of early access and can start playing from June 2. However, you won’t get any advantage other than more gameplay time, as seasons will begin later on.

At release, the game will have some features that you have not seen in the beta so far. The most interesting of these have been presented for you:
