Hi everyone,
This week's Closed Beta will start tomorrow, August 17th, at 11AM CEST (12PM MSK-EEST / 10AM BST / 5AM EDT / 2AM PDT).
If you haven't received a key, don't worry as we send more regularly. Make sure you're registered for the Beta here to receive your key.
What to expect from this week's Beta?
The team continues to work on your feedback from previous Beta sessions. We know that many of you experience issues with the matchmaking system, and we're doing our best to bring more players in the Beta. We'll send 15k new keys tomorrow morning at the start of the test session to reduce queuing time as much as possible.
We're still working on improving the servers, and fixing as many technical issues as possible. A lot of issues are tied to having only the EU servers open in the Beta to reduce the queuing time as much as possible. You'll definitely have servers for more regions at release. We currently plan to have servers for EU, NA and Asia/OCE.
Please find below this week's changelog:

Quick reminder that the this Beta isn't covered by a NDA, meaning you can share videos, images and info about the game this week. Keep in mind that it's a work-in-progress version of the game, and players may encounter bugs or crashes, that may lower the quality of the in-game experience.
We’d love your help in identifying these bugs, so that we can make the Early Access release version of Fear The Wolves the best that it can be.
Please join the Fear The Wolves official Discord to synchronize with the team and testers.
