StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void’s closed beta is now live, Blizzard has announced, with invites going out to selected players today.
To see if you’ve been selected, either check your inbox for an email from Blizzard or head to the ‘In Development’ area of the Battle.net desktop app. If you’re chosen you should see a Beta: Legacy of the Void option under StarCraft 2’s region selection drop-down menu.
Once you’ve received your invite, you can begin playing by logging into your Battle.net account, heading to the Games and Codes area, and downloading the beta from ‘Download Clients’.
The beta will introduce three new maps to the StarCraft 2 universe, including Ruins of Seras, Lerilak Crest and Orbital Shipyard, along with a new Protoss unit ‘The Adept’ that is capable of sending out a mirror image of itself to confuse opponents.
The beta offers access to PvP multiplayer and Archon Mode, a co-op/competitive mode that sees two players sharing control of a single army and base to team up against another team.
A release date for the full game has yet to be announced.
