What is playable?
The beta includes the prologue and the first act of Diablo 4, you can level your heroes up to character level 25 at most.
Act 1 includes the first area of the open world, namely Fractured Peaks – a barren snowy landscape high in the mountains.
As for the classes, in the closed beta you can try Barbarian, Sorceress and Huntress. On the second weekend you can also play the Necromancer and the Druid.
Co-op is enabled in the beta. For example, you can lay the world boss Ashava together with friends, but it only spawns at very specific times.
