The beta of World of Warcraft: The War Within is about to begin. It starts in a few days. We’ll tell you what you need to know.
When does the beta start? The beta for WoW: The War Within starts on June 5, 2024 – in less than a week. From then on, the first beta testers can try out the new World of Warcraft expansion and get an idea of the new areas, features and story for themselves. We have all the information about The War Within here.
How can I participate in the beta? There are several ways to participate in the beta. One way is to simply sign up for the beta and hope that you are accepted and granted access during one of the invitation waves. However, access is not guaranteed and it may take a while.
If you’re impatient, you can also pre-order the slightly more expensive “Epic Edition” of The War Within. In this case, you’ll get immediate access to the beta when it starts and can take part in the test.
Important: There are no “keys” for the beta! When you are activated, you can see it directly in the Battle.net launcher. So don’t fall for dubious offers that promise you access to the beta.
What’s in the beta? A large part of the expansion’s features are already playable in the beta. The highlights include:
Will you jump straight into the beta? Or would you rather not be spoiled and wait for the release later in the year?
