Beta date!

I can’t post a lazy link because of my forum rank, but here you go: https://twitter.com/isa1307_2/status/816387367233732608

Classic cheesy 343, trying to be cool with the whole “117” thing.

Looks super official =3

Well, it is a verified account on Twitter. That implies it is legit.

Sticky link to Tweet

Sorry, I’m not very knowledgeable with Twitter. Verified that it’s a twitter account that belongs to 343? Legit how?

It means that Twitter verified the authenticity of the account. That ensures this isn’t a fake.

Oh - so it’s been confirmed it belongs to 343i so that leaves us just to speculate what the date might mean, the winning assumption being the beta. Sounds cool to me =)

I could speculate that this is probably legit

Well i hope its true and or soon.

It looks like a believable post. Let’s hope so.

Question is: is this when the beta launches for everyone, or just those who preordered it? I believe that those who preorder are getting earl access to the beta.

It won’t matter for me as I’ll be out of town. I will likely miss most of the beta. Boo!

Early next week, but still no news so I am guessing tomorrow then?

Tomorrow is Wednesday, aka hump day. There’s no way it could be considered early. 343i…

Sorry we haven’t actually announced the Halo Wars 2 beta date… yet. But we are announcing it soon. Consider this an announcement of the impending announcement!

Dang ya really killed my joy there. Should have just said “heck yea can’t wait” and then laugh at us as we cry on reddit on the 17th.

Beta launches same time for everyone.
Those who pre-order the Halo Wars 2: Ultimate Edition get early access to the full game.

So what was Isabelle talking about the impending announcement or something else entirely or is that Twitter account not linked to 343.
