The Diablo 4 servers are currently experiencing a DDoS attack, causing them to be inaccessible since June 25. It has been approximately three hours since the servers went down, with no indication of when they will be back online. Blizzard is actively monitoring the situation and assessing the impact of the attack on player latency and connectivity in Diablo 4.
It is important to note that this is not the first time Diablo 4 has faced significant server issues. Like many other online games, server outages can occur sporadically. In fact, Diablo 4 had a previous outage on June 8 during its early access release. Yesterday, on June 24, Blizzard acknowledged and tracked ongoing server issues in Diablo 4, which are believed to be related to or contributing to the current DDoS attack. For those unfamiliar with the term, a DDoS attack refers to a deliberate and malicious attempt to overwhelm a targeted server, service, or network with an excessive amount of internet traffic, resulting in disruption.
Battle.net players are currently experiencing disruptions due to a DDoS attack, which has also been acknowledged by Blizzard on social media. This unfortunate incident especially affects individuals who can only dedicate their weekends to gaming, impacting their potential Diablo 4 playtime.
Blizzard has not provided an estimated time for the outage to be resolved, but they have assured users that they are actively working towards a solution. It is important to note that the company is not at fault for this situation. Despite the frustration that may arise, it is crucial to understand that Blizzard employees are likely working tirelessly to address the issue, potentially sacrificing their days off. In the meantime, fans are encouraged to explore other games and exhibit patience while Blizzard rectifies the situation and supports those affected by this attack.
The popularity of Diablo 4 speaks volumes, evident in the disappointment felt by every player affected by the DDoS attack. Fortunately, the future looks extremely promising. The highly anticipated season 1 of Diablo 4 is scheduled for release in July, offering dedicated ARPG players a plethora of exciting new content to enjoy.
Diablo 4 is accessible across multiple platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
