WildStar [official site] is going free-to-play, breaking loose from the shackles of a subscription model in order to let new players through the front doors for nothing. Before that happens, NCSoft are running a closed beta for the new version of the game, and we’ve got 5000 keys to giveaway if you want to try it out. Hop below to find out how to get one.

Update: Please note that all codes are EU specific and so will not work from other regions. Apologies for the inconvenience; we weren’t initially told.

The widget below will dispense your key in exchange for one of four actions: following us on Twitter, following our Steam group, subscribing to our YouTube channel, or visiting our Facebook page. The latter should work without requiring a Facebook account and whether or not you’ve already Liked the page previously.

WildStar Closed Beta key giveaway



Once you’ve completed one of the above actions, hit ‘Continue’ in order to make the key appear. The keys are limited to one per user and the widget above will close automatically when all the codes are gone. The keys won’t expire, except when the beta ends.
