EU Socom: confrontation beta details

Good news for gamers hoping to try out the latest Socom incarnation, as posting on the official playstation boards Shijima who is apparently European Socom producer, announced the EU beta will kick off at the same time as the US beta on the 1st of September.  Official comment after the jump

Unfortunately there are no details yet on exactly how the beta codes will be distributed, but with not long to go before the start date and Leipzig imminent expect more news soon.

From Shijima,

Hi all!

Okay, this is the news you’ve all been waiting for. I’m happy to confirm that Europe will indeed be getting access to the same Beta trial as our brethren in North America! Furthermore, our trial will begin on the SAME date (1st Sept) and will also end at the same time (30th Sept).

You’ll be pleased to hear that it will be possible to play against not only gamers in Europe, but also those in North America, Oceania and Asia too! Access to this “multiplayer demo” varies by country, so keep your eyes peeled for your unique promotional voucher.

Should any unforeseen circumstances affect our plans then I’ll make sure to keep you updated here…

Shijima.

Follow up post,

I couldn’t be more specific about how voucher codes will be redeemed as it varies from territory to territory.  The way it works is that our central Marketing team give a number of codes to the territories and then they can decide on how they wish to use them.  So, some territories may just give the codes away via a Marketing email, other territories may run a pre-order promotion with a local retailer, hence you will have to wait until the relevant email arrives in your inbox.  I do know they’re planning to send emails out using a range of marketing channels, but registered Beta trialists should get a voucher code regardless.

Don’t worry about not getting an opportunity to join in either, I can tell you there will be ‘thousands’ of voucher codes made available across Europe.

Be patient… 

Shij.
