No promises though! It's got a "Global Release", but they don't seem to know at this stage if that means server locations beyond the US/EU...

THE WAIT IS OVER... LET'S DO THIS:

Raise your hand if you want beta! Okay, you can all put your hands down now. We know everyone is very excited about getting their hands on the game, and the tribe at Red 5 is proud to announce that beta invites started going out Friday, September 2nd, 2011. We've released 500 invites for a preliminary test taking place in two weeks.

Keep in mind that our beta will be a staged process. Registered members have been chosen to participate in Closed Beta: Stage 1. Our selection is partially based on positive community member activity, and partially at random.

Over the next 2 weeks many more lucky people will be invited to subsequent rounds of our closed beta. Additionally, those invited will receive an invite themselves to pass out to their friends. Look for your email invitation and please know that if you have not received one yet, it's likely to land in your inbox soon!


Know someone who is not signed up for the Beta? Well, what are you waiting for...? Forward or share this info through your favorite social media channels so you can bring your crew to Copacabana.

PASS IT ON so your friends can SIGN UP TODAY!  (https://beta.firefallthegame.com/accounts/new)

Firefall Beta Update
by Matt DeWald August 31, 2011

For the past two months, the Red 5 team has been hard at work preparing for the launch of our beta while at the same time travelling the world spreading the word of Firefall. We stated in previous posts that the beta would begin shortly after PAX Prime.

Well, PAX Prime is over. The current plan is that by the end of this week, we will begin sending out invites to participate in the upcoming scheduled beta tests. I wanted to take some time to clarify a few things that I’ve seen come up on the forums, on twitter, and on other websites regarding the Firefall beta.

Those of you that signed up at PAX, GamesCom, or any other event we have done, have the same chance to get into the beta as those that signed up on our website. Date of registration or number of posts will not have any impact on your chances. We still need to merge the database of all those that signed up at PAX, so expect to see an e-mail to confirm your account in the next day or two. Those of you that registered at GamesCom should have received your e-mail verification already. If you haven’t, please register on the website.

Our initial invite wave will be very small. I will announce on the forums once the first wave of invites has been sent out so that you know when to check your e-mail. After you receive an invite, you will need to follow some additional steps to be included in the beta. More information will be provided to those invited.

This is a very exciting time for all of us at Red 5. While we have been beta testing with our Friends & Family for multiple months now, we are now ready to expand the beta and start getting feedback from all of you. Thank you for being a part of the Firefall community and welcome to the next phase.

I check mine daily and I haven't even applied for the beta.


Although, I am interested to see how this game turns out, so if someone gets a spare invite, I'd be grateful if they send it to me.

I did apply a while ago and haven't got an invite yet, so maybe you got lucky.

LOVE. THIS. GAME.

Not very polished being a beta. Servers are stressed to Africa but shit, I love the environment and graphics.

Anyone else in the beta?

I would ask for one, but I probably won't get much use out of it at the moment, with Guild Wars 2 taking up my time. I would be happy to take one for future use (if it doesn't have a limited time) if no one else wants them.
