When is Diablo 4 coming out? A leak on the release date in the Microsoft Store now provides a concrete date for the first time.
Diablo 4 has a release date – or at least one that sounds extremely likely. However, the information does not come from developer Blizzard Entertainment. Instead, a dataminer leaked the date – according to its own statements, it was able to read it from the Microsoft Store’s API (Application Programming Interface).
Accordingly, Diablo 4 will be released on June 5, 2023. The release leak was previously preceded by other datamining revelations by the same person that turned out to be true, as reported by Insider Gaming.
December 8 update: Insider Gaming explains with another leak after! Accordingly, an anonymous source told the editors the content and pre-order bonuses of all editions of Diablo 4. The information cannot be independently verified. According to the leak, there should be the following versions:
Diablo 4 Standard Edition
- Early access to Open Beta (pre-order only)
- Bonus »Messenger of Light« (only for pre-orders)
- WoW-Mount »Amalgam of Rage« für World of Warcraft

What else is known?
According to the leaker’s tweet, the launch time is 11:00 p.m. – depending on the time zone the players are in, Diablo 4 could also only appear on June 6th.
In fact, this would also fit better with the gaming industry’s habit of releasing their products on either Tuesdays or Fridays. However, June 5, 2023 is a Monday.
