Blizzard has confirmed its plans to extend the beta test for Diablo III to the greater public very soon. The game went into Friends & Family beta in recent days, which culminated in the release of numerous screenshots and videos of the game as it is at the present.
Speaking to VG247, Blizzard says that the public will soon be able to get their hands on the beta in full.
"We're getting very close to starting the closed public beta test for Diablo III," a Blizzard representative told the site.
“You might start seeing some new reports about the beta client as we’ve begun limited external testing with employees and their families, and there is no non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for that. We look forward to sharing more info about the beta test in the near future. Stay tuned.”
Blizzard also informed current testers of the beta that they were "free to show, share, or talk about any portion of the beta content to which you have access, as this beta test is not confidential."
Diablo III may likely see release later this year, assuming the beta test goes as planned.
