- Complete the application form found at the bottom of the page.
- Await notification from NetEase Games.
Season 1 Highlights:
Even without early access, the Season 1 update launching on Friday, January 10th, promises a wealth of new content:
- New Heroes: Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman join the roster.
