Diablo’s June 4, 2023 release date was confirmed at The Game Awards

Diablo IV will be released on June 6, 2023, as announced in a new trailer that debuted during The Game Awards. This official announcement came shortly after a report documenting the challenges Blizzard employees faced over the course of the game’s development, which mentioned the release date.

The Washington Post reported that Diablo IV was scheduled to arrive in April 2023, but the team “felt it needed more time and was able to agree on a June date”. However, there is still work to be done on Diablo IV, with the Post reporting that while not required, the development team is motivated to work long hours and “crunch” on the project due to the various equity bonuses that will be paid out once Diablo IV releases. It depends at least in part on performance.
