The company also ran a unique promotion that promised fans access to an exclusive beta if they got a Diablo IV-themed tattoo to celebrate the game's upcoming debut.

It also showed one of the game's 100-plus dungeons, albeit with various missing textures and no collision detection, highlighting its unfinished state. Earlier in 2022, over 40 minutes of Diablo IV gameplay leaked online, revealing several of the game's integral mechanics, such as vendors, skill trees and the character creator.
