The fourth installment of Blizzard's dark-fantasy ARPG series Diablo is coming this summer, and players will have the opportunity to play the game early in Open Beta and Early Access sessions. Here's what you need to know about Diablo IV's betas.

Diablo IV pits players against the forces of Hell and their demonic leader Lilith. Players will be able to choose from a selection of dark-fantasy classes like the Rogue, Barbarian, Druid, Sorceress and Necromancer and carve their way through haunted, hellish locales and loot-filled dungeons.

To clarify information about the Open Beta, Blizzard has released a press release detailing some of the features of the Open Beta.
