Hearthstone when is beta

The email will contain a beta key—just follow the instructions inside to get started. As always, please be aware of phishing attempts—falsified emails sent by unscrupulous individuals purporting to be from Blizzard, but their real goal is to steal your login credentials.

For more information on how to identify these emails, please refer to our Battle. One easy way to ensure your invite is legit is to avoid clicking on links in any invite emails you receive. Instead, just log in to your Battle. The number of players we invite to the Hearthstone beta will be based on our testing needs. There is no NDA for the Hearthstone beta test. Take screenshots, live-stream matches, record movies—whatever your heart desires! Please keep in mind that the game is still a work in progress, and we appreciate your understanding when you encounter bugs, graphical errors, or other issues.

Though players who purchased Descent of Dragons will get in on the action early, Battlegrounds is otherwise free. In the November 12 Beta and upon release, the game mode will be available to anyone with a Hearthstone account. Just log in and you can take part. The Beta will launch with 24 Heroes to choose between, each with their own Hero Power that changes how they play and recruit minions. Spend your gold wisely, recruit well, and win rounds against each player to try to come out in the Top 3 of the overall match.

Will you be playing the Battlegrounds Open Beta on November 12? Check out our hands-on preview from BlizzCon to see our early impressions of the game! As of today, we have sent beta invites to everyone who opted in to the Hearthstone closed beta test prior to Monday, December If you opted in before that date and have not yet received an invite email, check your spam folders or different email tabs to see if you invite may have ended up in an unexpected location.

These accounts will be flagged for beta access within the first few weeks of January. Opt-ins for the closed beta test will end on January 7 ; we plan to invite everyone who opts in by that date to the closed beta test at some point before the open beta begins. So keep playing, testing, and amassing your Hearthstone collection, as we do not plan on performing another card data wipe. Thanks for your patience and enthusiasm. Hearthstone would not be as far along as it is without your helpful feedback.

Please continue to let us know what you like and what you think needs a little more work.
