It's a custom for headlines, and after the many problems encountered by Activision Blizzard in recent years, it's no wonder that the monetization of Diablo 4, is well taken into account from the purchase of the "box". . The game is available in different versions, more and more expensive. If it's any reassurance, the more expensive editions of the game don't give direct benefits, that's cosmetic. On the other hand, you would do well to be interested in the pre-order bonuses, between access to the beta, and early access to the game, this can be important.
After the leak of the release date, this information comes from Insader Gaming . And they are considered quite reliable. They should be confirmed (or not) within a few hours, during The Game Awards ceremony.
The prices of the different editions are not yet known.

In this case, there are even two levels of bonuses, depending on the edition of the game pre-ordered. You could say that Blizzard has a heavy hand, since the more expensive versions of Diablo 4 give access 4 days early , which actually gives a June 1-2 release depending on your location.
