The Overwatch Closed Beta will begin in both the Americas and Europe on October 27, Blizzard has announced.
Players will be added to the beta gradually as more and more features are ready to test.
“We’re aiming to accomplish two primary goals with our public beta test: First, get tons of top-notch feedback on the gameplay – including balance, feel, and fun – to help us make Overwatch the best team-based shooter on the planet,” explains Blizzard in a new blog post. “Second, we want to hammer the heck out of our tech, including stress-testing our server infrastructure and making sure the game runs great on the widest variety of systems possible.”
Beta participants will be divided into two groups. The core Closed Beta group will be joined by a number of Beta Test Weekends with wider groups of players.
In order to achieve the most “meaningful and constructive feedback possible” Blizzard says the “total number of players in the Closed Beta will be extremely limited” so don’t expect to secure a space if you’ve put you’re name down.
