أعلنت Blizzard عن خططها لإجراء اختبار عام ثانٍ للعبة تقمص الأدوار Diablo 4، هذه المرة للموسم الخامس.

تم تشغيل أول PTR للعبة Diablo 4 في أبريل وسمح للاعبي Battle.net على الكمبيوتر الشخصي بلعب الموسم الرابع الذي لاقى استحسانًا مبكرًا. وبالمثل، يمنح PTR للموسم الخامس المشجعين لمحة عما سيأتي في الفترة من 25 يونيو إلى 2 يوليو للاعبين الذين لديهم حساب Battle.net على الكمبيوتر الشخصي فقط.

بالنسبة لما يمكن توقعه من PTR، فهناك مهمة جديدة تجري بعد أحداث المهمة الرئيسية ومن المفترض أن تؤدي إلى أحداث التوسعة الأولى Vessel of Hatred، والتي سيتم إطلاقها في 8 أكتوبر 2024.

وتقول Blizzard أن “ميزات الموسم الخامس قصة جديدة حيث يتم القضاء على الأعداء، وتتغير التحالفات، ويخرج الأصدقاء غير المتوقعين من الظل".
