Diablo 4 fans won't stop asking beta testers to break their Blizzard contracts

Fans keen for more Diablo 4 information are testing beta testers' commitments to their NDAs by asking questions about what they saw, just weeks after several players seemingly went against Blizzard's confidentiality request by, well, confirming they got into the endgame beta.

The Diablo subreddit is stuffed with oodles of posts querying everything from graphical options and performance to PvP tips and the game's slight MMO stylings. Most with several commentators happy to reply, with some more cautious than others about NDAs – the devil's in the detail, we suppose. Naturally, it's hard to verify who accessed the beta and who didn't, so keep your wits about you when scouring the replies. 

Diablo 4 has seen several leaks over the past year as we edge towards its eventual release next year. Around the time Blizzard confirmed it was hosting a 'family and friends' test, we saw several leaks online that culminated in a huge 40-minute chunk of Diablo 4 gameplay footage. We've seen sporadic leaks elsewhere, too, with one suggesting the campaign could be optional.

We don't have an official release date, though Blizzard has confirmed Diablo 4 will release next year - that said, one report points to the month being April. Regardless, you'll be able to try the action-RPG before it releases, as Blizzard has confirmed we'll get an open beta early next year. If you're looking to avoid spoilers and play the game for yourself, you shouldn't have too long to wait. 

Looking for something to keep you busy? Here are a few games like Diablo to scratch that itch for dungeon delving and loot.
