A little pricier than imagined – particularly when you account for the game including both a Battle Pass and a Cash Shop, you’d imagine that the cost of adoption could have been a little lower. But, it’s 2022 and AAA console games are hitting $125AUD next year, so what do I know.
All Hell breaks loose 6.6.23.
Pre-purchase #DiabloIV and get Open Beta Early Access.

If you are quick to part with your cash, you can of course pre-order right now on the Diablo IV website.
Hey, at least you’d get early open beta access! And then the game will formally come out June 6, 2023.
