The hotly-anticipated StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty closed beta has begun.
Invitations have already been sent out. Did you get one?
The beta test gives fans a first look at Blizzard’s revamped Battle.net service, which has been designed to be the online platform for StarCraft II and future Blizzard games.
From the official beta invite:
“As a beta test participant, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the multiplayer gameplay of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and explore the social-networking, matchmaking, and other new features of Blizzard Entertainment’s revamped Battle.net online-gaming service.
Throughout the StarCraft II beta test, you’ll be able to take part in cooperative and competitive battles as the terrans, protoss, and zerg – and at the same time, you’ll be helping test the stability of the Battle.net service and fine-tune the game balance prior to launch. The developers look forward to hearing your feedback and seeing you on Battle.net!”
Blizzard mega man Mike Morhaime had this to say: “Gathering concentrated feedback from our players is an important step for us as we head into the final stretch of development for StarCraft II and the new Battle.net service.
“We look forward to having our players’ help in polishing the overall experience and preparing for launch.”
For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past ten years, StarCraft II is the sequel to Blizzard’s 1998 hit RTS StarCraft, which is still played by millions around the world.
Wings of Liberty is the first of three StarCraft II games, each one providing a new race campaign. It’s due out some time this year.
