The closed beta test for the second installment of StarCraft II, called Heart of the Swarm, is now underway. Blizzard has sent out invites to a limited pool of testers, and in the coming months will be sending out more.
For now the test includes the multiplayer portion of Heart of the Swarm where testers will get a chance to try out the new units and abilities planned for the beta. Blizzard does not have a definite end point for the beta, so no word yet on a possible release window for the game.
If you’re interested and would like to help test out Heart of the Swarm, you can opt in through your battle.net account. Opting in does not mean you will definitely get access. Here’s what Blizzard said about how it selects who gets in through the opt-in pool:
“Beta testers are chosen according to their system specifications and other factors, including recent StarCraft II activity (and an element of luck), when selecting individuals during each round of invitations. Our goal is to have a wide variety of players and system types.”
