Those wanting to participate can start downloading the client on the Battle.net website.
Unfortunately, Korean players will not be able to partake in the open beta due to “regional differences and features of the stress test client.” However, the publisher plans to hold a separate, invitation-only closed beta for those in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau who want to give the game a spin. That event will begin the week of April 23.
