Your Objective
This Open Beta test is an integral part of the development process, allowing us to gather crucial feedback from players as well as testing our network infrastructure.
The main objectives of this Open Beta are two-fold:
- Test the game’s stability and network performance.
- Test the game's multiplayer and review player feedback on the balance of the Stormcast Eternals and Orruk Kruleboyz factions, as well as the overall economy and gameplay balance.
Network Test
By having a large number of players join the game at once, we can stress test our servers and identify any potential bottlenecks or issues that may arise. This will provide valuable data to help ensure that the game is a smooth and stable experience for all players at launch.
Balance Pass
During the first Open Beta, you will engage in 1v1 multiplayer battles. We will be monitoring player feedback and gameplay data to identify any imbalances or issues with the currently available playable factions: the Stormcast Eternals and the Orruk Kruleboyz.
It’s important to note that the version of the game you will be playing is still very much in development and therefore we expect you will encounter bugs and network issues. We want to make Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin the smoothest experience at launch.
So, when accessing the Open Beta on July 7-10th, keep playing, provide feedback, and most importantly, have fun!
Open Beta Dates
