Will have to follow this as I like the first game. Hope it's as good if not better.

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.

True, or some kind of cruel April fool joke? I guess we'll find out soon.

Well, we'll soon find out!

*prays the announcement isn't a joke*

I posted the announcement on the 29th, but £40 is still a bit much to get in while I already have that 'alpha' code.

I see the original COH is no longer a pre order bonus, I presume this is due to the change of publisher?

Annoying as I promised my mate it to entice him to get into the sequel, seems being the highest rated RTS of all time is not enough for him....

Looking forward to this but the price is steep on Steam, Amazon is a tenner less but does not have pre order bonus's it seems which is annoying as I wanted in on the beta

Wasn't the original only part of the collectors edition?

Nah, I ordered standard and was part of it. Certainly was through Amazon anyway, I'm sure I remember the same was available through Steam but could be wrong I guess.

Oh what

Keep us all updated then!

 

[Davepen]

Beta is today?

SWEET

 

[KautoStar]

Is it bad when you have 3 dreams last night about coh2 and you get up early to sit waiting for it to come on steam all day ?

 

[RaMDOM]

I have this pre-ordered at ShopTo - will that get me into the beta?

 

[Wucked]

I read somewhere (cant remember where now) that beta access was from steam pre-order only. Not sure if that's true or not though.

 

[PsychoPigeon]

Anyone who buys from a legitimate outlet which advertises you get access to beta

Argh the wait is killing me!

 

[Puppetmaster]

Looks like there is no official time of release, just somewhen today using pacific time.

People keep saying Steam updates at 1800 UK time, is this a myth?

Nevermind, it's released
