StarCraft® II

The Swarm is coming!

Community Manager
We are preparing to invite testers for the Heart of the Swarm beta very soon! To be clear, this test will be for the multiplayer experience only. We will begin with a select group, including many players who assisted us in testing Patch 1.5, as well as some pro-gamers and press. Over time, we will add more and more testers into the mix.

If you are interested in participating in the beta test, please make sure you are opted in for beta testing. You can do this by clicking "Beta Profile Settings" under the Account Management section of your Battle.net account. Note that the opt-in doesn't guarantee entry, but gives you a chance at joining the beta test. Also, we'll be working with your favorite fansites and community personalities to give away more entries to the beta test, so keep an eye out for invites coming from the greater StarCraft community over the coming weeks.

We can’t wait to get the public test started for Heart of the Swarm, and we look forward to collecting your feedback.

It's never-wrecking trying to wait for a beta-key.

If all 3 beta options are already checkmarked, does this mean that we're already opted in? Do we need to run the system spec tool again?

You should run the system spec tool again.

I'm not sure if its necessary or not, but its still a good idea to do that in case they are out of date.

Okay cool, thank you. OS version and graphics driver were out of date.

Best of luck receiving your beta key! Unless of course you automatically get in using your bright shiny yellow text. :P Haha

Judging by the amount of complaints about 1.5.0, not too many

Look forward to helping out once again. Hopefully "soon" means actual dictionary version instead of blizzards "soon" which is sometime between now and never

Just please don't make the beta so small (in terms of players) as diablo 3. There are many players (like me) who aren't friends/family or media or pros that still try really hard at the game and hope to get somewhere, and it would be really bad to start out behind the curve because of no beta access.
