Blizzard has already finalized the box art for Diablo 3 beta, so that you can select it in your Battle.net account as part of the beta selection process.
Btw, if you still haven’t signed up for the beta, go to your Battle.net account now.
In addition to the Diablo 3 box art, Blizzard’s PR machine has roared to life, announcing a press tour starting August 1.
According to MMO Champion, it’s the same pattern as with Cataclysm – the beta release date is probably 2 weeks away.
Two conclusions based on this little piece of news. First, all German gamers and especially ones living in Cologne are lucky bastards as they will get a chance to play Diablo 3 early.
Second, it signals that Diablo 3 beta is ready in terms of the single player and Blizzard are probably just tweaking with the network code. Battle.net 2.0 is one of the best multiplayer platforms and offers amazing features, so I bet Blizzard would like to integrate them with Diablo 3. Things like chat, invites, etc.
So why we are waiting for the Diablo 3 release, I leave you with this fun video about Diablo 3′s Purgatory.
