Sign up: This is how you take part in the beta
Pre-order now necessary: After the announcement of the release date, it no longer seems possible to register for the beta without pre-ordering. The original button has been replaced by the pre-order button.
Since Blizzard has an open beta, registration will probably no longer be necessary.
Pre-orderers are allowed to: Of course, Blizzard wants as many fans as possible to pre-order the remaster. It was therefore decided that pre-orderers would also be the first to receive early access to the Open Beta.

Blizzard is currently still stingy with further information on the scope. So it is not yet known which acts you can play in the beta. In the Alpha it was the first two. The availability of the multiplayer mode, which was still deactivated in the alpha, is also uncertain. But it should definitely be available.
