The start of Beta testing for World of Warcraft: The War Within has been announced for June 5th, 2024. This is exciting news and you’ll want to keep an eye on your inbox for golden tickets, er, invites. In order to play in this first phase of Beta, you’ll need to have pre-purchased the Epic Edition of the upcoming expansion, or be “community veterans, press, fansites, friends, and family.”
If you don’t fall into any of those groups, make sure you’ve opted into the Beta on your Battle.net account and keep your fingers-crossed for a future invite. Here are some official words:
“Players who have opted in can be selected to be testers, and invitations will go out regularly throughout the test. If selected to participate in the beta test, your Battle.net account will already be flagged for access. Players who upgrade to the Epic Edition of The War Within will also gain immediate access to the beta…
New systems, the complete leveling experience, zones, dungeons, delves, Warbands, and the new playable Earthen are all available in the beta. Raid testing will come at a later time…”
While I’m technically a press-fansite person, Warcrafty’s brand spankin’ new status would likely not qualify me for Beta as of yet. Good thing I’ve already dropped my cash on an Epic Edition some time ago. Rest assured, I’ll post lots of Beta beauty shots and impressions in the days and weeks ahead.
