Defiance: Advanced Mission Beta 3 Details

[BunkeredSphinx]

We are proud to announce the third Defiance Beta weekend which will take place on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3! Our Advanced Mission Beta 3 release will be NDA FREE! So feel free to talk about Defiance on our official forums here once Advanced Mission Beta 3 is live!

Note: The Alpha NDA is still in place and content around Alpha will remain under NDA until further notice.

Advance Mission BETA 3 Dates:
PlayStation 3 North America: March 19th 8:00am PDT – March 25th 9:00p, PDT
PlayStation 3 Europe: March 20th 8:00am PDT – March 26th 9:00p, PDT
PC Global: March 22nd 9:00am PDT – March 24th 9:00pm PDT
Xbox 360 Global: March 25th 8:00am PDT – March 26th 9:00pm PDT

The final beta, which is not representative of the final game, will let players explore the Mt. Tam and Madera regions with Co-op battles on Angel Island and the Cronkhite Bunker. For Ark Hunters looking to test their might in some competitive multiplayer action, the Freight yard and Observatory will provide opportunities to prove themselves worthy of Von Bach Industries’ recruitment.

Thanks to a partnership with Dodge, we revealed last week that players pre-ordering Defiance will also get an exclusive in-game red Dodge Challenger at launch, in addition to the previously announced pre-order reward items. The Dodge Challenger is the fastest vehicle in the game and players in the BETA will get to test drive it first by competing in the Dodge time trial challenge located in Madera.

Defiance is scheduled for release April 2, 2013, and is now available for pre-order. If you’re looking for a guaranteed invite to the final BETA you can get your key by pre-ordering now.

Also! PC players can now pre-order their copy of Defiance from Steam here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/224600.

What i don't really understand on Xbox360,is why a monday and tuesday?

I'd wager to say so that Trion can have folks in office just in case something breaks.

Feel a little cheated by this, preordered the game back in January and now i find out il only get less than 2 days on the beta....

[GT3000]

I make it 35 hours;

24 hours from March 25th 8:00am PDT – March 26th 8:00am PDT plus
11 hours from March 26th 8:00am PDT – March 26th 9:00pm PDT

Less than and nearer a day and half than " just shy of 48 hours" (2 days)....

Any reason why the March 15th date the retailers were giving out did not happen/were "wrong"? As the above dates were also given out by other sources before today...

Better recheck your math, it's isn't 35 hours. It's 37.

Looking forward to the beta! Is it possible to sign up for the PS3 beta after signing up for the PC beta on the same account?

1 day for XBOX???? i cant understand why!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kantazo]

i hate it how people think beta time is play time ITS NOT you should be testing the game looking for bugs not having fun

At last someone who sees the truth, gosh why all the se people are getting their undies caught in the drawers, sheeshhh, it is BETA testing, at the end everything will be wiped out, just enjoy the beta, find bugs, report them so we get to enjoy an awesome game in just few more weeks.

^Again, MUCH agreed!

Just to toss out a completely random question for Trion out of sheer curiosity... any chance somewhere down the road after game has released the PS3 community might see Move support at all? I can just imagine what it'd be like to play Defiance with the Move Sharpshooter.

Fantastic news! Sorry to hear the 360 users get 1 day :/

Who cares? You get to play the game in less then a month so I don't see the point in whining about it.

There's plenty of reason to complain, I for one (as I said earlier) am determining my purchase off of this BETA. Maybe you still blindly pre-order, but there are A LOT of people that take caution in spending money that you now don't get back. Don't know if people know this. Gamestop and soon everyone else...don't give you your money back if you cancel a pre-order, you must apply it to another pre-order (IE - you can't even buy a game that has already come out with "pre-order" money.......LAME!!!)
