Activision and Treyarch have published the release date of Call of Duty: Black Ops III’s multiplayer beta for all three platforms (PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC) – and due to the agreement with Sony, the PlayStation 4 is first in the line. We don’t want to waste time anymore and just flat out say it: the PS4 will receive it on August 19 and it will last until August 23, while the other two platforms’ timeframe is between August 26 and August 30 for this year’s Call of Duty online public beta testing, for the first time ever.

Treyarch didn’t announce anything else, just the release date, so more information about the game modes and the maps are going to come later and we will inform you about them. You can still preorder Black Ops III – this is necessary for you to participate in the online beta. The final version of the game will launch on November 6 on all three platforms, hopefully in a less Titanfallish fashion, as we have seen it so far. Treyarch’s game really reminds us of Respawn Entertainment’s work, we admit it!
