this is the official word

Hello everyone,

This morning we are proud to announce that on Tuesday, April 2nd, the Company of Heroes 2 Closed Beta will begin! For those of you counting, that's only four days away!

Closed Beta will be limited to pre-order customers only. THQ code holders (from shows like Eurogamer Expo) will be phased in shortly later. We are showing priority to our pre-order customers as a thank you for supporting us.

You can see more details on the closed beta, including some bits on the game modes that will be available, in our official press release or on SEGA blogs.

Also, we will be giving details on the private closed beta subforum soon. We will be using the official SEGA forums as the private beta tester forum platform to prevent the issues we had while trying to use our own forums for the Alpha Stress Test. I can promise you that if you're playing, you'll have access this time.

In a note sent to VG247 today, publisher Sega confirmed that the multiplayer beta would last two weeks and cover six of the game’s competitive maps, playable across 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 modes. Players can also level up to level 40 and customise their loud-out using the all new Army Customiser tool.


2 weeks? I hope that's wrong.

Who knows... those 2 links seem like they got different letters from Relic. Some clarity would be nice.

Yea.. Lynx/Noun wake up :P

Sounds like pre-orders will get access on April 2nd, and the rest of the beta keys given out will get access at a later date. I guess just have to wait for them to confirm details. It's not really to detailed.

It says:
This first phase of the closed beta will be open to eligible pre-order customers
only. There will be a second phase in the coming weeks where a wider audience
will get a chance to take part. For more information keep watching
www.companyofheroes.com.


So it may still be a closed beta and they will hand out more keys to facebook/twitter-followers.

Closed Beta will be limited to pre-order customers only. THQ code holders (from shows like Eurogamer Expo) will be phased in shortly later. We are showing priority to our pre-order customers as a thank you for supporting us.

I guess all alpha-players, pre-orderers and show-attendees will be able to play at 2nd of April


I hope that's the case, but I fear it won't be.

edit: tommy's link confirms that's not the case. :(

Still nothing specific on alpha players tbh. Alpha keys aren't the same as eurogamer keys, right?

But alpha-players are not specifically mentioned so there might be hope (for me and other alpha invitees).

Then you'll be in the beta starting on the 2nd. Only problem is the price has been set at £40 which is about £10 too much for me to hit the button without hesitation.
