    I haven't heard anything yet and I'm browsing these forums pretty regularly. I think GRW's open beta was about a week before release. I also played the closed beta a couple weeks or so prior to that.

    If they are going to have one, I would assume we would hear about it by about the end of this month? .....maybe in March?

    There won't be any beta because the multiplayer aspect of the game is still in the works.

    There was no PvP in GRW upon release but there was still co-op. FC5 is still releasing with co-op is it not? If so, I could see them possibly running a beta test for it but who knows.

    Hey guys,

    We've not announced any such test to be happening before the game's full release.
    If the situation changes, you'll hear it from us first, but as far as I am aware FC5 won't have a beta.

    GRW didn't have PvP (Ghost War) until around 7 months after release. Before that, it was only SP and Co-Op.

    Also, they had both a closed beta (invite only) and an open beta before release.

    .....I should mention that they also had a beta test for GW (PvP) before it launched later in the year as well.
