President of Blizzard Mike Ybarra took to Twitter to confirm the global release times for Diablo 4. Those who pre-ordered the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions will get to dive back int hell on June 1, 2023. The latest from Ybarra is actually a correction to a previous statement talking about times.

Through Twitter, Ybarra says that the early access for Deluxe and Ultimate pre-orders will get to start playing on Thursday, June 1 at 4PM (PT). This translates to a June 2 at 12AM (BST) release in Europe and June 2 at 8AM (KST) in Asia. Those with the basic version of the game will get to start playing on June 5 at 4PM (PT), which is June 6 at 12AM (BST) for Europe and 8AM (KST) for Asia.

If you were on the fence about Diablo 4 and didn't dive into the recent beta weekends, you missed out on what seems like one of the better Diablo games. There were certainly some performance woes, including a pretty severe memory leak, but the gameplay itself seemed to be quite good. Of course, those are just the impressions from a content-limited weekend, so there's no saying just yet how good the full game will be.
