Diablo 4 Down With Scheduled Locked Logins as Vessel of Hatred Roll Out Gets Delayed

An update:

The new update is nearly finished uploading to our servers. We will be giving the greenlight once the update is finished and available for PC Bnet users to download.

During this time, we will be running last minute QA verifications before we turn things on.

We appreciate your patience during this period. We are almost there!

Hello Wanderers –

We have some late breaking news for our launch for Vessel of Hatred.
We are looking at a small delay for launch due to a small technical issue on our end. We are still expecting Vessel of Hatred to launch this evening, but we will need some additional time to ensure we have every player start at the exact same time across all platforms.

At 4pm PDT, we will begin locking out new logins for Diablo IV. Players already logged in prior to 4pm PDT will still be in-game on Patch 1.5.2, but they should expect to lose connection to the game over time while we do additional work to get the simultaneous launch prepared.

We apologize for the late breaking news on the time shift, but this is an important step we need to make to ensure every player can start their journey through Nahantu together.

We will be providing updates in this thread as they become available.

That’s 4 pm PT/7 pm ET/7 am HKT (Oct. 8) for those curious. No word yet on how long this downtime will take, but we’ll be updating the article as more news develops.

If you’re not sure whether to get the expansion or not, go read our review of it here. We’ll be updating the article, so make sure to refresh this from time to time for the latest info.
