News: Titanfall beta news due today but pre-order customers not guaranteed access

Respawn will announce more details on the Titanfall beta today, studio head Vince Zampella has revealed - but even if you've already pre-ordered, don't assume you'll be guaranteed a place.

Zampella teased fans with news last night, tweeting: "Good progress. Should be beta news tomorrow. There will be signups. So close!"

However, while it sounds as if beta access will be granted to a selection of those who register, Zampella's later comments reveal that pre-order customers aren't guaranteed a spot.

"Unfortunately no," Zampella said replying to a fan asking whether all pre-order customers would be offered access. "We tried but just couldn't do it."

And while access isn't expected to be particularly limited, Zampella says that "it is not an open beta by any standards".

"If it were up to me I would let most of you in (always a few bad apples)," he added. "Sadly, we have restrictions that we couldn't avoid."

Rumors earlier this month suggested that the beta could be due to kick off this Friday, February 14, with new players invited throughout the test.

Titanfall launches on Xbox One and PC on March 14 and on Xbox 360 on March 28.
