Diablo 4 Announces ‘Server Slam’ Stress Test Set For The Weekend Of May 12

Diablo 4 fans will get the chance to step foot in Sanctuary once again as Blizzard announces another weekend beta test for their highly anticipated game.

During the studio's latest stream, Blizzard confirmed that the upcoming beta, called the "Server Slam," will take place from May 12 to May 14 on Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. The playtest will feature offer cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms as well as a couch co-op mode for local multiplayer sessions.

The ‘Server Slam’ will function as a stress test that will include all five classes and, like the previous beta weekends, will allow players to progress up to level 20 and complete Act 1. All previous beta progress, however, will be wiped clean, so you'll have to start from scratch. Players will also get to face off against the world boss Ashava, who’ll spawn every three hours from May 13th starting at 9 a.m. PDT.

Taking down Ashava will earn players a new trophy, as well as existing titles and cosmetic wolf pack perk. If you're up for the challenge, mark your calendars and get ready to join the fight against the armies of the Burning Hells to help push the servers to its limits and earn some sweet rewards in the process.
