Not Only GTA 6; Leak From Diablo 4
Tens of minutes of gameplay recordings from Diablo IV have leaked online. The materials come from closed tests of the game.

Yesterday's leak of footage from Grand Theft Auto VI was not an isolated case. Another thing that appeared on the web was a 43-minute gameplay recording from Diablo IV.
Of course, these materials should not have appeared on the Internet to begin with. There is a good chance that Blizzard Entertainment and Activision will demand their removal soon, so those interested are advised to hurry.
The videos are said to come from closed tests, conducted by a select group of people associated with the developers. The game looks excellent on them. In particular, it is worth noting the good support for ultra-wide resolutions.
As an amusing curiosity, it's worth mentioning that the footage features armor that appears to be modeled on the infamous horse armor, made available as paid DLC for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. In Blizzard's game, this item will be unlocked after completing the campaign, which does not change the fact that the game will include many microtransactions.
Diablo IV is heading for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, and the game is scheduled for release next year.
Not only GTA 6 and Diablo IV, prototype of Thief 2 has also been leaked
September 18 was a crazy day in terms of leaks. Those from GTA 6 and (to a lesser extent) Diablo IV overshadowed another interesting event, which was the leak of an early version of Thief 2: The Metal Age, the legendary stealth game from 2000.
The edition dates back to November 1999 and is fully playable, although many elements are placeholders. The leak offers a unique opportunity to see how the development process of this classic went.
