Diablo 4 is completely free to play right now for a limited time

Diablo 4 is currently running a free trial until 30 October, and it's available to everyone with a Battle.net account.

An ideal game to play over the Halloween period, Diablo 4 is filled with blood, guts and demons. The game also currently features lots of vampires in Season of Blood, which is the second season for the game since launch.

The latest season of Diablo 4 is all about blood and vampires

In order to play you'll need to download the client and from there you be able to enter the world of Sanctuary and do battle with lots of nasties. You can choose from any character class and will be able to play until you reach level 20. If you enjoy the game, you'll be able to buy the full version with 25% off the usual price.

Season 2 brought lots of big changes to the game after many players found the first season to be a little disappointing. Player counts began to drop and Blizzard certainly noticed. Season 2 brings with it changes to class builds, a better path for levelling up your characters and another balance tweak for the game's difficulty.

Blizzard have been doing everything in their power to keep fans playing, including adapting every unique item in the game to feel more impactful and create "moments of excitement upon dropping". The developer has been open and honest with the community about what is working and what has fallen short and this trial gives them a chance to prove that with a large number of players.

Another very welcome addition for Diablo 4 in season 2 was it's addition to Steam and Steam Deck verification, meaning players could feel confident in the performance of the game on the Steam handheld.

Word among the community is that this season feels like a step in the right direction for the ARPG, so it's a great time to jump in.
