Diablo 4 servers are ‘ready’ for launch (Update)

Blizzard General Manager Rod Fergusson weighs in on the eve of the launch

Diablo 4 will be coming real quickly: in almost 24 hours, in fact! Who knows what will happen when that ominous zero hour arrives?

There was a server slam tension test hung on the weekend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s release that apparently worked out, however you can’t prepare for whatever. Youcannevertheless, plan to a pointand Blizzard has actually plainly done precisely that. Talking to GamesRadar, Blizzard General Manager Rod Fergusson stated the following about the publisher’s preparation efforts for Diablo 4’s launch:

We learned a lot from each of the four previous tests.We’re in a much better place mentally and emotionally as a result of everything we’ve learned.

We’ve put in the time and effort, and conducted extensive screening, so you can count on us. Never say never, because you never know. The first day may be challenging, but we expect to learn and adapt, just as we did on previous weekends.

It’s going to be tough to leading Diablo 3‘s launch problems

Just keep in mind that “it may be a little rough on the very first day” seems like a realistic atmosphere, even from a very positive business representative, if you’re planning on taking a few days off to play Diablo 4. Regardless, it will be difficult to top Diablo 3’s shaky release.

Fergusson’s forthright description of Diablo 4’s demo in the interview shows that Blizzard has taken a lot of feedback from Diablo 3’s development into account. The full extent of Diablo 4’s microtransaction money making has not been seen in 1.0, but lessons learned from Diablo Immortal are likely to be applied there as well.

How isDiablo 4 faring on launch day?

As of Monday, June 1, 2023:As could be expected, things were tense after the eviction. Blizzard seems to have launched at least one help thread for “licence” issues that are preventing logins. The following is a list of some of Blizzard’s most recent major updates: Developers are looking into it because the issue seems more widespread than anticipated. I’ll let you know if I get any further information, but for now, just keep trying every 15 minutes or so, and it should self-resolve without any further action on your part.

Personally, I’m unable to join in on PC, but I did manage to log into Diablo 4 on PS5 around an hour and a half after the floodgates opened (and have actually remained logged in ever since). Hopefully, things will improve dramatically tomorrow!
