Once you are in, you’ll be able to play through three campaign acts and even have six different classes at your disposal which is pretty great all things considered.
Currently, there is no end date to early access, but as stated by the developers themselves, it is likely to continue for at least six months.
There will be no character wipes though so you’ll keep all of your progress throughout the whole early access period, which is great for those who don’t want to worry about having to regain all of their levels.
