Diablo 4’s gameplay launch trailer welcomes players to Hell

Blizzard has released Diablo 4’s gameplay launch trailer, which is viewable below.

Set to the sounds of Billie Eilish’s You should See Me In A Crown, it shows off various monsters players will encounter in Blizzard’s upcoming action RPG.

Diablo 4 will be released on June 6 for PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5 and PS4, with cross-play and cross-progression for all platforms.

However, players who purchase the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions will be able to play it from June 1 at 4pm PST / 7pm EST (June 2 at 12am BST).

Blizzard held a final Diablo 4 open beta weekend from May 12-14, giving players access to the Prologue, the entirety of Act I and the first Zone, and letting them build a character up to a Level 20 cap.

It also recently shed more light on Diablo 4’s post-launch content, specifically its Seasons, Battle Pass and Shop content.

The game’s Seasons – which will appear on a quarterly basis and will add new features, questlines, items and balance changes – require the player to complete the main Campaign first.

To account for this, Season 1 will start in “mid to late July”, giving players time to finish the Campaign before it starts.

Each Season will include a new Battle Pass, containing 27 free tiers and 63 premium tiers. The free tiers will contain cosmetics and ‘Smouldering Ashes’ (which can be spent on Season Blessings, which give an XP, Gold or Obol bonus).

Blizzard stressed that the premium tiers “will not provide any in-game power”, but will instead provide cosmetics unique to that season, as well as Platinum.

Platinum is the game’s premium currency and can be bought with real money. It can either be spent in the Shop on new cosmetic items or put towards the purchase of future Battle Passes.

A premium Battle Pass costs 1000 Platinum (which Blizzard says is the equivalent of $9.99). An accelerated Battle Pass can also be bought with 2800 Platinum ($24.99), which includes 20 tier skips and a “special cosmetic”.
