Blizzard went on to announce that the multiplayer beta for Diablo 2: Resurrected is getting started this weekend. There’ll be some priority for players who have pre-ordered the remaster, as they’ll be able to start playing on August 13 at 1 pm EDT. People who didn’t pre-order will have to wait a little longer until the open beta releases, which will be on August 20 at 1 pm EDT. The beta will be available on all platforms but the Nintendo Switch.
The road to launch begins.

In their blog post, Blizzard gives you a little more details on the open beta. You’ll be able to try out some of the classes, namely Druid, Paladin, Amazon, Barbarian and Sorceress. “Up to eight players can play together in one game,” Blizzard says. “Besides complementary skills that help each other in battle, experience, monster hit points, and the quantity of items dropped scale upwards as more players join the session. Additionally, players can choose to duel each other or even claim a rival’s ear in PvP combat.”
Lastly, like the Technical Alpha, both Act I: The Sightless Eye and Act II: The Secret of the Vizjerei will be fully playable. The fully remade Act I & II cinematics will also be viewable in the Diablo II: Resurrected Early Access and Open Beta tests.
