Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls beta opens their gates to hell in China

Look, the hordes from Hell aren’t just going to ‘go away’ on their own. The more people that can help, the better. As Blizzard opens Diablo III: Reaper of Souls’ beta door to China, more and more join the forces of the nephalem. It’s good to see Blizzard and China’s relationships continue to advance after World of Warcraft went live there.

The China client includes new features such as the Crusader class, Act V, terrifying landscapes, and the legendary city of Westmarch. As if all numerous demons and well, Diablo, cross your path along the ways – at the end of this journey you’ll find Malthael – the Angel of Death. Hell, beat the game once and ‘Adventure Mode’ unlocks which allows players to go anywhere and slay anything. Good stuff.

"We want to thank our closed beta testers for helping us put the finishing touches on the Chinese version of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We're pleased to now be able to welcome players across China into the open beta, and we can't wait to see everyone in Sanctuary."

"We're very excited to be launching the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls open beta test in China through the joint efforts of Blizzard and NetEase and the incredible support of passionate Chinese players," said William Ding, CEO and founder of NetEase, Inc. "The NetEase team will continue to work closely with Blizzard to ensure that Chinese gamers receive the best experience possible in this truly epic game."

On top of all this, Chinese players who want to test drive the content will be able to playthrough the first four acts of the Diablo III campaign and level up to 70 for free.
