Over the course of the test, we’ll be inviting community veterans, press, fansites, friends, and family to check out the upcoming expansion and give us feedback. Players who purchase or who upgrade to the Epic Editionof The War Within will also gain immediate access to the beta and gain a minimum three-day early access to the expansion.

Players selected to participate* will receive an email invitation directing them to download the game client directly from the Battle.net desktop app.

Players who purchase the Epic Edition may also receive email notifications. As always, please be aware of phishing attempts—if you’re unsure whether your invitation is legitimate, please log in to your Battle.net account to verify that there is a The War Within beta license attached (under Your Game Accounts).

Getting Started

Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.
Run the Battle.net® desktop app—it may need to update itself if you haven't run it recently. If you don't have the app installed, get started here.
Once Battle.net is installed and updated, select World of Warcraft from the list of games.
In the Game Version drop-down menu above the Play button, choose The War Within Beta (listed under In Development) option, then click Install.
Allow installation to complete, click Play, and select any available Test Servers.
Create a new test character or use the character copy to import your existing Dragonflight character.
Enter the game and test the available content.

If you have issues installing and operating The War Within Beta, please check our Common Technical Issues and Solutions to begin troubleshooting.

What's Available in the Beta?
New systems, the complete leveling experience, zones, dungeons, delves, Warbands, and the new playable Earthen are all available in the beta.

Platform Action Progressive Hopes High For Deadpool Game's Return After New Activision Update

The official game may be a thing of the past but after a recent update to some of Activision's older licensed projects, there's new hope the Merc with the Mouth's first solo video game may soon be relisted on various platforms. Released in 2013 and developed by High Moon Studios, made a splash as it won plenty of praise from the characters' fans, even if critics were lukewarm on its combat and progression system. Despite this, it's becoming a cult classic, making its inaccessibility on modern hardware a frustration for many.
