The beta began on September 17, 2026 and runs until October 21 or 22 (sources differ). See the release date page for how to get access and the full timeline.
Do beta changes affect my talent build?
They can. The client shows 60 new talent spells, with Paladin (16) and Hunter (10) gaining the most. The client also has strings for a second spec, but Blizzard has not confirmed dual spec. Check your class in the talent calculator and on the leveling guides before launch.
