Overwatch beta kicks off this month

Two groups of beta testers will have various levels of access

Posted on

Blizzard Entertainment have announced details about the upcoming Overwatch beta.

The beta program will contain two groups of participants, each with different mission objectives and deployment schedules. The Closed Beta will be composed of a small number of testers who will have regular access to the public beta test. The goal for the Closed Beta is gameplay feedback, and players will be encouraged to provide feedback for every aspect of the game.

The first phase of the Closed Beta will deploy on October 27 in the Americas, and players may be added gradually to start (with more being invited as new features are ready to test). The goal is to have Europe come online next, with Asia following at a later date.

The second beta group will be open to a larger amount of players, as the goal is to get as many heroes playing as possible to stress test the servers. These larger-scale Beta Test Weekends will be brought online occasionally for a limited time, generally over a weekend, and will run concurrently with ongoing Closed Beta test. Because Beta Test Weekends are primarily hardware- and tech-focused, the number of heroes, maps, and gameplay modes will be restricted.

Interested players can sign up for the beta program through Battle.net.

Overwatch is a team-based shooter where heroes do battle in a world of conflict. The game is expected to release on PC in 2016.
