June 6 could not be approaching more slowly. It’s almost as if Lilith herself has cast some sort of time warp in order to keep me from slaying her and her minions or something. Luckily Blizzard is giving us one last early look at the game before its official launch. May 12th, I’m coming for you.
To keep us busy while we wait, though, Blizzard has also officially released the specs required to run Diablo IV at different levels. Now we have two months to hustle our way into some money to run the game at 4K 60fps. Let the hustle begin! Oh wait, the specs, yes, here they are:

Blizzard says they have used the data from previous closed and open betas to get these specs, which is precisely one of the purposes of these betas, but it’s nice of them to show, or at least pretend to, that they have our demon-slaying hearts on their minds. They also noted that while the minimum specs are what they are, Diablo IV can run on PCs with lower hardware specs. Dual Core CPUs, integrated graphics and standard HDDs are mentioned, but they do say “the game experience may be significantly diminished.”.
