Your Last Chance to Play Diablo IV Free Before Launch – Server Slam Arrives on May 12
Help us gear up for Launch as we welcome all to venture to Sanctuary and storm our servers in preparation for June 6. We’re dubbing this our Server Slam, which will run from May 12-14*.
This is your last chance to try Diablo IV before launch. Explore all five classes, discover your favorite character builds, join forces against a World Boss, and earn rewards – such as one more chance to earn the Beta Wolf Pack cosmetic – and the new Cry of Ashava Mount Trophy**. All this and more await in a brand-new build where we’ve integrated learnings and player feedback from the recent Diablo IV Open Beta, including adjustments that will make the Server Slam more representative of what players will experience at launch. With a fresh start for everyone, you can grow your power up to Level 20 and behold what horrors await in Sanctuary. Progress will be wiped before launch, so discover your favorite ways to slay during Server Slam.
“We recently shared exciting news that Diablo IV has officially gone gold,” Game Director Joe Shely explains. “I want to thank everyone for being a part of this amazing journey and helping us create the epic next chapter in the Diablo series. I hope you can all join us for one final weekend of testing on May 12 as we solidify our server infrastructure so we can have the best possible launch when Hell is officially unleashed on the world on June 6. Come slam our servers and smash some demon skulls!”
Earn all four rewards during Server Slam, and receive them once Diablo IV launches:
Initial Casualty Title: earned by reaching Kyovashad with one character.
Early Voyager Title: earned by reaching Level 20 on one character.
Beta Wolf Pack Cosmetic Item: earned by reaching Level 20 on one character.
NEW Cry of Ashava Mount Trophy**: earned by defeating Ashava with one Level 20 character.
During Server Slam, you can explore the early game of Diablo IV, adventuring through the Prologue and Act 1. The entire first zone – Fractured Peaks – will be yours to roam, filled with dungeons, strongholds, quests, and events for you to discover. Play solo or co-op in groups of up to 4 with cross-play, cross progression, and couch co-op on console. Traverse the rugged landscape, and slay demons with brutal might, earning bonus XP as you fight with friends nearby.
A fearsome foe awaits in Server Slam and you’ll need to join forces to take her down. The larger-than-life World Boss, Ashava, will first make her presence known Saturday, May 13 at 9am PT. After that she will be appearing every three hours to give you opportunities to slay this gargantuan World Boss and earn your spoils.
Diablo IV will launch on June 6 with endless evil to slaughter, countless abilities to master, nightmarish Dungeons, and legendary loot. Pre-order the Deluxe or Ultimate editions and get up to 4 days Early Access to Diablo® IV’s Launch***.
