Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin open beta details

According to the beta page, this open beta has two main objectives.

The first is to test the stability and network performance of the game. The other objective is to test the game’s multiplayer feedback on the balance of the two factions in the beta. These include the superhuman near-immortal Stormcast Eternals, and the swamp-dwelling Orruk Kruleboyz. Frontier Developments will be looking for feedback on overall economy and gameplay balance of the two factions.

The team hopes this beta period can also serve as a network test. If a large number of players participate, the servers can be stress tested to identify potential bottlenecks or other issues to ensure a smooth and stable network come launch.
