The open access event for Wargaming Alliance and Creative Assembly’s free-to-play, team-based strategy game, Total War: ARENA is now live and will run until 8pm AEDT Wednesday 7 February – that’s 5PM Kuala Lumpur/ Singapore time.

Thanks to the open access, players worldwide are now able to charge into battle as legendary commanders from history in this free-to-play, team-based strategy game. By redeeming the code TWAASIAOW, new players will earn 500 Gold and 7 days of Premium Account time to get started as well. However, these codes are only valid for new players until February 7, 8pm AEDT.

As a bonus, for joining the Open Access event, everyone marching for war can join the Immortals program. As an Immortal, they can secure and retain fantastic rewards for the open access event and beyond. Up for grabs are XP and Silver bonuses, plus unique customization options.

All Closed Beta progress will be wiped when Total War: ARENA enters Open Beta. However, players will keep the Immortals rewards earned during Closed Beta. For more info on the Immortals Program, head over here.

“We thought this open access event was a great opportunity to welcome more players into the game for the final stages of Closed Beta”, said Gabor Beressy, Total War: ARENA Game Director at Creative Assembly. “We greatly value player feedback, and the Immortals program is our way to reward Closed Beta players for their support.” he added.
