It was later discovered that invitations have already gone out, allowing some players in certain regions to access the game on the same day. PC Gamer reports some testers were already streaming “Warcraft 3: Reforged” plays through Twitch just hours after the announcement.
The “Warcraft 3: Reforged” beta is not available for open or public access. Blizzard selects random players who are then notified through invitation emails. To check their eligibility to be selected for the beta tests, players should check out their Beta Profile on their Blizzard account. The developer also confirmed that invitations will be sent by batches and will arrive at a later time on certain regions.
Players should note that the said invitation emails are the only and official way to access the “Warcraft 3: Reforged” beta. This is where the instructions in installing the beta client and process of sending Blizzard their feedback will be provided.

It is unknown how long the “Warcraft 3: Reforged” beta will run. At this point, testers can only play with orc and human races on 1v1 and 2v2 modes while the night elf and undead will be available in the coming weeks along with other gameplay modes. Players should regularly check their Blizzard accounts as more invitations are anticipated to be sent out as the beta goes along.
However, the “Warcraft 3: Reforged” beta should not run for over two months if Blizzard intends to deliver its promise about the game’s release date. The game’s Battle.net page indicates it will be available “on or before December 31, 2019.”
