Dark Messiah of Might & Magic Open Beta Today

SAN FRANCISCO- August 28th, 2006 – Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced that the Dark Messiah of Might and Magic™ multiplayer open beta will begin on Tuesday, August 29 at 9 a.m. (PDT), with details available on the official Might & Magic® website at www.mightandmagic.com.

Developed by a seasoned team at Kuju Entertainment, the open beta gives players a first taste of the revolutionary Crusade mode on the human map of Vradeck’s Crossing. The open beta also includes all character classes, skills, weapons and spells for a genuine multiplayer experience. Approximately 100,000 players will be able to participate in this final test before the release of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.

UT2007 Demo Plans + Info on Retail Maps

Epic Games Forums (thanks Beyond Unreal and Voodoo Extreme) offers word from Epic's Steve Polge on plans to release a demo for Unreal Tournament 2007 prior to the retail release of their coming shooter sequel, along with an idea about how many maps will be included in the final product:
We currently have well over 40 maps in development. Some of those may be cut, but you should expect UT 2007 to ship with a comparable number of maps to past UT releases (UT2004, which had two games worth of maps excepted).

We are definitely planning to release a demo long enough before we go gold to be able to incorporate feedback from the demo into our final release.

Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade Demo Plans
FilePlanet announces plans to debut the playable demo for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade on Friday, September 1. There are no details on exactly what the sample of Relic's coming science fiction RTS expansion will offer, but they are running a video card giveaway in conjunction with the news.

I think any gamer would be doing an injustice to themselves by not playing Dark Messiah.

Nevermind, we have to wait another day because Gamespot & Ubi lied to us:

UPDATE: The Dark Messiah beta has been postponed to start on August 30 at 9am PT.

no word, and the game has been delayed till 07 (opposed to it being an 06 title with an 07 name).

My best guess? Demo in end December and game in early Febuary

RaZz!

^^ take a trip to www.youtube.com and watch some multiplayer videos. Its very awesome, the sword play works out great. It looks like you can be killed very easily by powerful mages and assassins but im sure its all good in the hood.

A seperate team made the multiplayer from the SP.
