In an announcement posted on Blizzard’s official US Battle.net forums, community manager Bashiok has confirmed that Diablo III is currently being played by Blizzard employees and their families in a closed testing environment. Furthermore, the closed-beta is apparently “very close” to going live.
“FYI, we’re getting very close to starting the closed public beta test for Diablo III. You might start seeing some new reports about the beta client as we’ve begun limited external testing with employees and their families, and there is no non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for that. We look forward to sharing more info about the beta test in the near future. Stay tuned.”
“If you have a beta license, you are free to show, share, or talk about any portion of the beta content to which you have access, as this beta test is not confidential.”
The beta client can be downloaded from here although there is no point if you do not have an invite to the US Diablo IIII beta. The beta installer states that the beta download weighs in at 14GB.
We still don’t know when the game will be released, but the chances of it making it out by the end of the year seem to be getting slimmer and slimmer with every passing day that Blizzard remains tight lipped.
