ORIGINAL 12.25pm: Blizzard has apologised as its server Battle.net is currently unavailable, leaving players unable to access games, such as Diablo 4, on PC.
The company is in the process of investigating the cause of today's outages, which is said to have been caused by an issue with authentication servers. Blizzard said this may result in "failed or slow login attempts" for its games.

In a follow up reply, the support team said it does not have a timeframe for an expected fix. It did, however, state that its "teams are heads down and working to get things up and running as quickly as [they] can". Meanwhile, users have reported they can't access the Battle.net app, stating they are being presented with a maintenance error code.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Perhaps thankfully given today's situation, this title will be making the jump to an additional PC platform later this month, as Blizzard is bringing Diablo 4 to Steam.
We will update you when Blizzard finds a fix for its current Battle.net issues.
