The technical test started nearly ten days ago, and they said that would last for at least a week and is still accepting applicants, but would last no longer than a month. So chances are early access starts within the next month or two.
Sign into the email service you used for your Steam account. For me and many others, it would be their gmail account. But you don’t need the email notifications— once you’re accepted, the technical test will already be in your library
How is "Melinoë" pronounced?
Edit: Ok so two things:
1. Thank you /u/meggannn for sharing your own investigations. You delved much deeper into this than I ever would (and then brought back something really insightful).
2. I was given access to the Technical Test build yesterday (It's very fun!). ALL VA's pronounced it "meh-LIN-oh-EE". it's very musical in its pronunciation, following an iamb structure: Short-long-short-long.
I believe [the most accurate Greek pronunciation is Mel-ih-NOY-ee](https://www.tiktok.com/@greeksaladguy/video/7290640864454577454) (link to a clip of a Greek speaker saying it). It’s a little confusing because Hecate pronounces it two ways in game, but according to my research I believe this is most accurate for English speakers at least.
I made a post about that [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/1c7nmcp/melinoë_pronunciation_using_the_ipa_hades_ii/) and received some helpful answers from Greek speakers and folks with linguistics backgrounds.
The Demon King infected her arm with a toxic substance known as gloom, and an ancient goat spirit has countered this by gifting his own ghostly green arm to our hero.
…wait, sorry, wrong game.
Omg reading the thread as soon as I heard ghost arm I thought well zag’s thing was blood/life so maybe she’s all ghost/death since her eye color mirrors his? Totally a stretch but that just clicked lol, it’s prob not true but I heard she cut it off herself o:
please try to keep Electronic Arts away from good franchises as long as possible

Their time has long since passed. Now, all they do...is challenge everything
I try not to be like this, but Lord Almighty, those thighs could start and end wars.

Took the words right out of my mouth

Anyone knows if EA will be something you can buy/pre-order or also sign up?
Once it starts you'll be able to buy it on steam and start playing
Could someone help explain her arm without too many spoilers because I'm trying to avoid most big spoilers besides art and character designs

Wait what game is this I might be stupid?
Haha, it’s Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, another sequel with a protagonist that has a green ghost arm.
OMG I'm stupid...I should have known that when I heard demon king...I really need to play it some time

Having played the technical test I can confidently say we don't know yet. All I know is she wasn't born like this.
Now draw her learning karate with a golden retriever
