It sure was a great weekend for gamers who’ve been waiting to see anything from GTA 6 and Diablo 4. Both games had major leaks within the same day and if some footage leaks from Half-Life 3 and Elder Scrolls 6 as well… Okay, let’s not get carried away.

The Diablo 4 leak was spotted by a Reddit user named iV1rus0. The Redditor shared two gameplay videos, one that lasts for 5 minutes and another 38 minutes, totaling up to 43 minutes. It seems like the leak comes from the “Family & Friends” test of the game and has a watermark with a digital identification number on it. Meaning Blizzard can easily track the source of the link and take action. Having said that, whatever action Blizzard takes the gameplay videos that highlight the combat, traversing, the map, and a few other mechanics are here to stay forever on the web.
The gameplay footage shown in these two videos is of course not ready for the consumers yet and clearly from a test build. Diablo 4 is expected to arrive on PC and consoles at some time in 2023, hence the state of the game you see in the video is nothing unusual. Some elements are rough around the edges and some textures are missing, but otherwise, it looks quite promising, Mobidictum dare says.
In other news, the title between the third and fourth games, Diablo Immortal is doing quite well, both download-wise and revenue. Following the launch in China, Diablo Immortal became one of the highest-grossing mobile games in August 2022, having earned a little over $97 million across App Store and Google Play alone.
