Diablo III - Beta available

It is official. The Diablo III beta is open to selected Battle.net players and you can download the beta client and start playing now! At this point, only Battle.net players on the North American servers can participate in the beta, but I'm sure that will change soon.

During the beta, you will have access to all five of the classes and you will be able to play through the Skeleton King encounter that was available in the Diablo III demo as well.

I still don't think we will see the game in this year, not with the release of Heart of the Swarm around the corner, but at least the beta is something to keep us busy while we wait.
