More than 40 minutes of Diablo IV gameplay appears online

More than 40 minutes of gameplay from Diablo IV has appeared online. Unlike the recent GTA 6 leak, this appears to be a private stream recorded by someone, not the result of a cyberattack.

It’s about two videos, in which the first, short fragment shows how some anonymous people talk about a user named Skye. This person is said to be streaming the game via Discord. The images are watermarked stating that it is a private test version of Diablo IV. Blizzard has previously released several official gameplay trailers and it doesn’t appear that the leaked images contain much new information about the upcoming game.

Among other VGC speculates that it concerns images from the Friends and Family alpha. Thanks to this closed alpha test, Diablo IV gameplay has already appeared online several times. It is not clear whether Blizzard is willing and able to track down the leaker of the images or possibly the person playing the game through the watermark. Typically, such early access requires parties to sign an NDA. Several shorter gameplay fragments have already appeared online due to the respective test program.

Diablo IV has been delayed more than once and has no official release date yet. It is clear that the game will be released for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Xbox One, Series X and S by June 2023 at the latest. Based on the leaked images, it seems that the game is in an advanced stage of development.
