There will be a PC beta for COD: WW2
Call of Duty: WWII is getting a beta on PC... but we don't know when. Based on the dates of the console private beta, it'll be well into September, at the earliest.
Michael Condrey, head of development at Sledgehammer Games, confirmed the PC beta on Reddit with the simple words: "yes, coming."
PlayStation 4 users who've pre-ordered the game will get access to a private multiplayer beta in two days' time, with Xbox One pre-orders getting in on a second wave starting on September 1.
According to Sledgehammer, that beta will contain:
- At least three multiplayer maps, including Pointe Du Hoc, Ardennes, and Gibraltar.
- War Mode - Operation Breakout
- Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Hardpoint game modes.
- Progression - players will begin at Soldier Rank 1 and rank up through a limited progression to unlock weapons, scorestreaks, equipment, and Basic Training Skills.
The new Headquarters social space, ranked play, supply drops, and loot are all excluded from the console private beta. The PC beta will obviously be later, meaning we're looking at mid-September at the earliest, but there's a chance we might get some more content.
I got to try COD: WW2's multiplayer mode at E3. Here's what I thought.
