Diablo IV: Blizzard is calling players to a Server Slam in a surprise new beta in May

If you’ve missed the two consecutive betas of Diablo IV - the first of them exclusive for pre-orders -, you will still have an opportunity to play it before it hits stores. Activision Blizzard has announced that there will be a new test in mid-May in order to definitively test the servers and thus avoid scares when the final release date arrives.

The definitive beta

It will happen during the weekend of May 12 to 14, which Activision Blizzard has called Server Slam, and will have exclusive content compared to the previous ones. We can go in search of Ashava, a massive world boss, and defeat her -she will reappear every 3 hours-, something that if we achieve regardless of only being able to reach level 20 will grant us the Ashava’s Cry trophy, and therefore access to an exclusive mount when the game releases. As in the other betas, reaching the city of Kyovashad, and then level 20, will grant players two exclusive titles as well..

This new test will include redesigned dungeons with less backtracking, in addition to a buff to the Barbarian -whose gameplay we saw some days ago-, something that the players requested in great numbers. In addition, they have ensured that legendary items will drop less frequently, something that will also be applied in the final version of the game.

It will be the definitive test of Diablo IV before its launch, having had notable success in the previous ones, where beyond a few queues to be able to play, there were no major problems, except for some lag on a few occasions. The game will arrive on June 5, at the start of a month in which it will have to practically coincide with Street Fighter 6, and two weeks later it will also compete with Final Fantasy XVI, with which a summer full of great games for all tastes is presented.
