Greetings Firestormers!

The wait for the Closed Beta is almost over! Soon, players will be able to join the realm and start testing all the TWW content with us. Specifically, the TWW Closed Beta realm goes live on Firestorm on June 23rd, 2025.

So what exactly is the Closed Beta? It's a development phase for an expansion where we launch a private server and invite players to log in, explore, and test everything we've developed so far.
You'll be able to access all content developed so far with an exact copy of your Valdrakken characters. There's no set date yet for the character copy, but it'll happen automatically, so don't worry if you're missing an item, that's perfectly normal.

Please note that any progress you make during the Closed Beta won't be saved to your account and your characters will be deleted afterward. So if you want to advance your characters, you'll have to wait until the official Firestorm realm launches, or for now keep playing on our Dragonflight realm Valdrakken.

GET INVITED

How to get invited to the Closed Beta?

To start, our most active players of the realm will automatically receive an invitation in their inbox, complete with instructions on how to log in. In recognition of their dedication and loyalty, they'll gain access to the realm, and they'll also receive an additional code to share with a friend.
To take part, we'll enable a field in the Account Control Panel, just register there to be eligible for an invitation.

But if you haven't been especially active lately and still want to join the Closed Beta, don't worry! We are going to organize several alternative ways to obtain access while the beta is running.

Once you've received your code, log in on this page and enter it in the new access field. After submitting the code, if it's valid you'll gain entry. Then simply log your character into the game!

We'll also hold periodic invitation waves, which will be announced on Discord.
The codes will be also  shared across social media such as Discord, Facebook, etc, through game events and giveaways.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Whether you were invited to the Closed Beta or just want to have the TWW client ready when the realm launches, we've prepared this download guide for you!

From now on, the only way to get this expansion is through our new launcher. It comes as a full-client installer, so you'll need to wait for the entire client to finish downloading before opening the game.
This way, you won’t have to download anything while you play!

Here's a step-by-step guide:

• Click here to download our new launcher.
• Install our launcher.
• Execute the launcher.
• Select the The War Within client option. You need to select a folder where you want it to be installed. The folder should be on a compatible and not restricted folder.
• Once it's installed, just open it and log in!
