Beta Finale: Closing Time, Celebration and Podcast
Checked: 2026-10-23 · International
Beta is scheduled to close October 23 at 10:00 PDT, with a final-day event and a developer podcast.
Blizzard’s October 20 forum notice sets the Beta closing time to October 23 at 10:00 PDT (17:00 UTC), replacing the earlier last-full-day wording. The October 22 celebration notice repeats that schedule.
The final-day celebration began October 22 in Zephras Isle and the original starting zones. Blizzard says the temporary items and unusual encounters can include content that will not appear after launch.
The End of Beta podcast brings Countdown To Classic and Meeix together with Josh Greenfield, Clay Stone, Ana Resendez and Michael Nuthals. The official article links the episode; its brief announcement does not supply a new gameplay changelog.
