Diablo 4 Is Trying Something Different Ahead Of Season 4
Diablo 4 will have a public test realm for Season 4 ahead of its launch. Blizzard revealed that a PTR will be available on PC in the coming weeks, letting players provide feedback on some of the changes in the upcoming season.
As shared during a recent campfire chat, a PTR for Diablo 4 Season 4 will be available in the coming weeks to let Blizzard test the numerous changes coming in the next season. While the developer did not share details on some of the changes set for Season 4, it did say that there are some large changes coming to stats and rewards. With there being so many changes, Blizzard felt a PTR was necessary, despite not having used one for any of the game’s first three seasons.
The PTR will be available exclusively via the Battle.net version of Diablo 4 on PC and will start ahead of the Season 4 launch. This means that the PTR will go live with a few weeks left in Season 3 of Diablo 4, giving Blizzard time to react to the feedback coming from the players. The developer said that not every season will have a public test realm ahead of launch, only seasons that feature enough big changes that testing feels required.
