When do you think the Beta will start

[Crudesash-1839]

I can’t attest to the veracity of it, but a website called Blizztrack said the dev version changed today, may or may not mean anything, but I mean, there is no cow level, so…

Diablo II: Resurrected announcement: February 19th, 2021
Diablo II: Resurrected Single Player Technical Alpha start: April 8th/9th, 2021(7 weeks since announcement)
Diablo II: Resurrected Single Player Technical Alpha end: April 12th, 2021
Diablo II: Resurrected Multiplayer Stress Test Beta start(my guess): May 27th/28th, 2021(7 weeks since Single Player Technical Alpha start)
Diablo II: Resurrected Multiplayer Stress Test Beta end(my guess): May 31st, 2021
Diablo II: Resurrected Release Date(my guess): Tuesday, June 29th, 2021

That would give exactly one month to release after Beta ends!

Diablo II: Resurrected Release Date

@WhirLWinD-1213

I’m still hoping for a June 29th, 2021 release date for D2: R, but this is probably how it will play out, or at least closely:
Chains of Domination release: End of May
TBC Classic release: Mid June(The WoW releases might be vice versa, etc., or may release later depending on their current beta testing)
D2: R beta: End of May to Beginning of June
D2 Ladder Reset: Beginning of June(gives some time for players to play og D2 Ladder before D2: R release)
D3 Season 23 ends: Between End of June to End of July
D2: R release: Some time during the end date of D3 season(End of June to End of July)
D: I release: September

@WhirLWinD-1213

Well, the Bnet App just updated with TBC Classic releasing June 1st! So, I was pretty much right on that one! Let’s see what else I can get right on!

@Dimarcus-21615

TBC was originally planned to be released 3rd of July (leaked from battle.net app) but they figured it’s too soon i guess so it’s getting pushed later this year.

The Bnet App just updated with TBC Classic releasing June 1st! Hopefully my other guesses are correct as well!

[StarRayquaza-1913]

From a D:I fan(not me): who cares about the dumb D2R that is remaster of 20 years old game?

Don’t judge other’s preference. D:I will have a very large audience.

It is completely fine that you dislike or hate D:I, but underestimate the mobile audience will be a huge mistake(mobile game market is double of PC market)

[Spiriduell-2453]

I hope the beta comes in May … and then the July release at the latest … our child comes in October and i want to be able to play at least the first ladder intensively

[Luap26-1769]

get a laptop, use 1 earbud, take night watch. Sit in room closes to babu, so you can easily step away if you need to.

[Spiriduell-2453]

And when I can sleep?

[Crudesash-1839]

Sleep when you’re dead! Those elite uniques won’t find themselves, you know.

@StarRayquaza-1913

It is completely fine that you dislike or hate D:I

you shouldve read more of my responses before you replied. I literally said further down that i AM going to play D:I and also think the backlash was idiotic when it was announced. its a free mobile version of D3, obviously its going to get a huge audience on release.

@Dimarcus-21615

end of July was a good bet but now it seems little further away…

Perhaps. BC releasing June 1st, but its literally a re-release of a decade old WoW expansion, It’s not going to leach any real player numbers from D2R. Yes they aren’t going to release super close together, but end of July would still be 2 months apart, thats plenty of time in between. But i suspect an August release to give it around 3 months. No way they need anymore extra time, they will most likely be done Beta testing within weeks and then just hold onto the game to give it that 2-3 month cushion.

Actually you’ll still have time for a while, babies sleep a lot during daytime in their first months. It’s after that it gets harder to make time for video games, especially if you don’t want them to see M rated content on your screen and have to hide from them

@WhirLWinD-1213

I still believe that Beta will be soon. D2 Ladder will reset in beginning of June to give people one last “oomph” at og D2 Ladder before D2: R release. D3 Season 23 will end between end of June to end of July(possibly beginning of August if it is exactly 128 days like previous two seasons: April 2nd, 2021 + 128 day season length = August 8th, 2021) based on previous season lengths. This will give perfect timing for a D2: R release during this time period of D3 Season 23 end. So, D2: R will probably release between Tuesday, June 29th, 2021 to Tuesday, August 10th, 2021! Mark it, and sign it!

More than likely WoW Chains of Domination will release beginning of July since it’s in Beta just like WoW TBC Classic is and it’s releasing June 1st. D2: R will probably follow suit after that and release around Tuesday, August 10th, 2021!

may or may not mean anything

It really doesnt, it changed several times since the alpha already.

[Bruh-16978]

I think it could start any day. I’ve been checking my launcher every hour and will continue to do so until I can install.

@BillyMaysed-1834

According to the latest investor call D2R is not releasing until the second half of this year. But since D:I is releasing after D2R we know that we are getting it somewhere between July-Sept at the very latest

Second half of this year is somewhere between July1 to December 31st.
So the OP’s question is when is beta?
Well to answer TRUTHFULLY is to say sometime between now and December 31st.

We really do not know any more than that!

Please stop giving people false hope about beta and ultimate delivery of D2R when you are blindfolded like all of us are.

You do not know special information above any of us BillyMays.

Beta sometime between July - September is not true.

[MarvelGamer-1306]

You’ll soon learn with a baby there is no such thing if you want to be able to game too. I average 4hrs/night just to be able to game for 1.5 hours every few days.

[Mindless-1928]

They know D2R coming out will take away some people from playing Diablo immortal which is why they gonna delay the D2R release till Immortal has been out for a good month or 2. I would guess.
I say we make a bet topic every one guess the day the release come out and winner gets free internet cookie.

[Dyrio-2825]

Last wednesday (19th) I sent an email to Maxim S., who is the contact on an official document for press (I had a question about a possible API, but I didn’t find a specific contact for this).

I received an “out of office” reply, until May 31th, so I suppose there won’t be anything before June (considering it would be a bad timing to be off otherwise).

I’m aware that this information doesn’t really mean anything, but I share it anyway since we don’t have more news from CMs

And while waiting I play D2… ^^

[blash-1917]

Do you not have a phone, guy?

[Bruh-16978]

Any day now, my senses are tingling~

[MikeKarman-1302]

I would like to play Diablo Immortal, but they increased the system requirements so much, that my tablet won’t even display the game in the app store anymore
