The open-world map of Diablo 4 known as the Sanctuary is a perfect treat for all the passionate gamers. With 5 major regions, this game has the biggest map in the series. With such a big map on display, there are countless activities for you to do. But before going head to head with Lilith and other creatures, you must know about every nook and cranny of the Sanctuary. So, what do all the icons mean on the Diablo 4 map? Or how big is it? Take a look below to know everything.
How Big is Diablo 4 Map? (Estimated Map Size)
The Fractured Peaks was the only region available to explore during the beta phase. We can safely assume its area to be roughly around 3.5 km × 3 km. That would mean that only the Fractured Peaks region is about 10Sq. km long. While comparing Fractured Peaks with the entire map, the total area could go around 8.5 km × 7 km which equals almost 60Sq. km.
Assuming this pattern to be almost accurate, we can say that Diablo 4’s Map is around 60Sq. km (23 Sq. Miles) long.
