It's now been more than ten years since the release of the last mainline Diablo game, with the series' third installment having first hit store shelves way back in May of 2012. At times it has felt like a true sequel may never arrive, and, due to the shocking state of Diablo Immortal, some long-time fans of the series no longer seem to care whether one ever does. For those still interested though, it appears that their decade-long wait may come to an end a little sooner than expected.
If the most recent trailers are anything to go by, Diablo 4 is shaping up nicely and is fast approaching a playable state. Blizzard seems to agree with this notion, with the publisher now allowing interested parties to pre-register for a chance to be involved in future Diablo 4 beta tests. It's a relatively straightforward process, but those having trouble can follow this simple and easy-to-understand guide to sign up.
How to Pre-Register for Diablo 4 Beta Testing
In order to pre-register, interested parties will need to make their way over to the Diablo 4 website. They'll need to variety their age upon their arrival, after which they can either push the red "Pre-Register" button at the top of the page or scroll down manually to the very bottom. There, they'll find an image of Lilith with a caption that reads "Accept Your Fate" and another red "Pre-Register" button that needs to be pressed.
For anyone who is already signed into their Battle.net account, clicking this button will automatically register them for a chance to be included in future beta tests. Everybody else will either need to sign in or create a new Battle.net account, after which they will be pre-registered automatically. From there, it's a simple matter of waiting until the first Diablo 4 beta tests are announced and hoping to be included.
How to Sign Up for a Battle.net Account
Thankfully, much like pre-registering, the process of signing up for a Battle.net account is incredibly straightforward. All that's needed is a valid email address, though also registering a phone number can help with security. Upon selecting the "Create a free Battle.net Account" option from the login page, users will be prompted to input their location and their date of birth. They'll then have to provide their name and email address and agree to some terms and conditions. After doing so, they'll just need to set a password and username to complete the registration and pre-register for future closed betas.
Diablo 4 is currently in development for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
