Is it a breach of NDA if Diablo IV fans scramble around excitedly online over being invited to the APRG’s next test? Regardless of that question, the fact remains that players are beginning to see invitations to the endgame closed beta test as of this week.

The Diablo IV subreddit is awash with excitement as several posts point out that the test is starting or otherwise share invites and footage (the latter of which absolutely breaks NDA).

As readers will recall, this test is meant to focus on D4’s endgame, with access to a post-story Sanctuary and a focus on making sure this portion of the game – arguably the real reason anyone plays the title at length – feels “satisfying, and with no shortage of challenging variety to experience across many, many demon-slaying gaming sessions.” To that point, fans on Reddit are beseeching those who were invited to provide feedback.

Activision-Blizzard is considered a controversial gaming company owing to a long string of scandals over the last few years, including the Blitzchung boycott, mass layoffs, labor disputes, and executive pay fiasco. In 2021, the company was sued by California for fostering a work environment rife with sexual harassment and discrimination, the disastrous corporate response to which compounded Blizzard’s ongoing pipeline issues and the widespread perception that its online games are in decline. Multiple state and federal agencies are investigating the company as employees unionize and call for Bobby Kotick’s resignation. As of 2022, the company is being acquired by no less than Microsoft.
