Diablo 4 devs are \u201cconfident\u201d the game will enjoy a smooth launch experience Activision BlizzardBlizzard developers say they\u2019re \u201cconfident\u201d Diablo 4 players will enjoy a smooth launch experience following the server slam. The beta sessions Blizzard hosted in March for Diablo 4 featured myriad issues, but, by most accounts, the recent Server Slam went well. Developers ran the final playtest from May 12 through May 14, allowing players from all around the world to explore Sanctuary one last time before launch. The servers seemingly held up throughout the weekend-long event, evidenced by the limited number of instability or server error reports from users. But what will this all mean for users who try jumping into the experience on launch day? Developers have expressed confidence that the servers won\u2019t let players down come June 2. Diablo 4 leads believe the game\u2019s launch will go smoothly In an interview with Eurogamer, Art Director John Mueller and Associate Game Director Joe Piepiora noted that Blizzard\u2019s feeling good about Diablo 4\u2019s upcoming release following recent stress tests. Piepiora told the publication, \u201cevery one of these betas has been transformational in terms of our understanding of our own technical capacity and what we need to do to make that a smoother launch experience in general.\u201d He applauded the Server Slam for being particularly smooth since users weren\u2019t battling long queues. The studio also discovered hiccups in the backend that would\u2019ve gone unreported without last weekend\u2019s stress test session. All in all, things seem to be looking good, with Mueller stating the betas weren\u2019t about marketing the RPG. \u201cIt\u2019s really about getting that information so we know day one is going to be as good as we can possibly make it, and that we just feel confident going in. So, currently, right now we feel really confident.\u201d Diablo 4\u2019s launch is just around the corner, with the game slated for a June 2 release on PC and consoles. Players will know soon enough whether or not Blizzard\u2019s servers are actually ready for the influx of users around the globe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
