how to get shadowlands alpha access

If you want to get your hands on the Shadowlands alpha, you'll need to have an active World of Warcraft subscription and be opted in to Battle.net emails to receive communications from Blizzard.


Once that's all sorted, log in to your Battle.net account and head to the Shadowlands page where you should see an option to "opt in" to the alpha. Opting in does not guarantee access to the alpha — Blizzard will be inviting players in waves — but it will get you on the list.

Blizzard has not said when the Shadowlands alpha will go live, but given that the beta is planned for this year, it's likely that the alpha will start sometime in the next few months.
