Diablo 4 fans have yet another reason to celebrate, as the hugely popular Public Test Realm (PTR) is now making a glorious return in Season Five.

Blizzard’s community manager recently shared a post on the official forums giving several important updates, including the return of the PTR; particularly good news, as Diablo 4 players had basically accepted that the concept had been shelved. Instead, it’ll return in season five, with more details to be revealed in a livestream on June 21.
In a change from the usual schedule, Blizzard will host a separate livestream on June 21st to discuss the upcoming Season Five PTR in their Campfire Chat. This decision to separate the mid-season update from the PTR release is intended to provide a smoother transition for players, and avoid disruption as they switch from the PTR back to the live game.
Diablo 4 players have expressed their immense excitement for the return of the PTR, with many appreciating the chance to test out new features and provide feedback ahead of the official release. The overwhelmingly positive response to Season 4’s updates, including Loot Reborn, has created high expectations for what’s to come in Season 5.
