A contest rewardingDiablo 4early access beta codes starts on Twitter, as Blizzard asks fans to offer up prayers to the demon Lilith. On Friday, March 17, the first of two betas leading up toDiablo 4’s June launch will begin. This first beta isn’t open, however. It’s limited to pre-purchasers, certain KFC customers, and contest winners. To help a few moreDiablofans find their way into the beta, and to have a bit of thematic fun, Blizzard’s prayers for Lilith contest is ongoing on Twitter.Diablo 4’s early access beta officially begins Friday, March 17 at 9:00 AM PDT/Noon EDT and will last through the weekend, ending March 20 at 12:00 PM PDT/3:00 AM EDT. It’s still possible to get a code for the beta through certain means, but others are less certain. For example,pre-purchasingDiablo 4on PC through Battle.netguarantees instant access to the beta. Pre-orderingDiablo 4for console on Amazon is unlikely to help, as codes have already been sent out. Visiting KFC and purchasing a Double Down may still work, though, but ask the cashier ifDiablo 4codes are still available first.RELATED:Redfall and Diablo 4 Will Have DLSS 3 Support at LaunchOne new alternative forDiablofans hoping to earn anearly accessDiablo 4beta codeis to offer a prayer to Lilith. A Twitter post from Blizzard asks users to “Pray to Lilith for mercy and She may grace you with a #DiabloIV Open Beta Early Access code.” More specifically, Twitter users can respond to the post with a poem or prayer toDiablo 4antagonist Lilith.
ADiablo 4early access beta code is not guaranteed to all who pray, unfortunately. Blizzard clarifies that recipients will be chosen based on “creativity, passion, humorousness, and/or uniqueness.” If chosen, winners will be sent a direct message on Twitter with the code attached. In total, Blizzard is only giving away 10 total beta codes. That’s not a lot, but it’s better than nothing.
Since Blizzard is not actually giving out many codes, the contest can probably be looked at in a different light. It’s a fun opportunity to do something thematically appropriate tocelebrateDiablo 4’s beta launch. It also has the opportunity to be a little controversial, at least in some circles. Offering prayers up to a demon queen is frowned upon by some.
Whether players get their codes through prayers to Lilith, bydoubling down on a KFC Double Down, or by buying the game early,Diablo 4’s early access beta is nearly here. It’ll open up all ofDiablo 4’s first act, three playable classes, and even World Events with massive monsters to battle. The wait forDiablo 4is coming to a conclusion.
Diablo 4releases June 6 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
