No doubt there's a dark cloud hovering over all things Blizzard - here's a great breakdown by PC Gamer summarises it all, including the current discrimination and harassment fallout. Which is, of course, shocking and disturbing. With that plans are seemingly still in place to launch Diablo II: Resurrected next month, with the Early Access Beta (for those who pre-order) expected to kick off August 17.

That date comes via the official Microsoft Store listing for the Beta which for a few hours had that date listed before being amended. Thanks Reddit.

The Beta, unlike the Alpha we played earlier this year, will support 8-player co-op in addition to giving players access to five playable classes - Amazon, Barbarian, Paladin, Sorceress, and Druid. Plus a suite of new quality of life features.

The Beta is set to hit PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms ahead of the September launch - with the question now being whether or not cross-play will be a feature alongside the already confirmed cross-progression.
