Diablo III may or may not be launching in 2011, but you can take it for a test-drive right now – Blizzard’s pushed the big green GO GO GO button on the beta, and started sending out invites to Battle.net users.
The beta apparently includes roughly the first half of act one, concluding with a boss battle against the Skeleton King, and lets players choose from any of the five announced hero classes.
That’s the Witch Doctor, Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Wizard, and Monk, for those of you who might have recently arrived on the planet from outer space.
“This closed beta test is an important milestone for us as we enter the final stages of development on Diablo III,” said Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime.
“Our goal is to create the best action role-playing game experience to date, building on everything we’ve learned since the release of Diablo II and incorporating the powerful features of the new Battle.net platform.”
“We hope players enjoy participating in the beta test and we look forward to hearing their feedback.”
To get your ticket to Sanctuary, make sure to opt-in via your Battle.net account.
