Since the Halo franchise is no longer in their control, and they’ve made a ten-year deal with Activision to develop a brand new IP, they’ll need to create something big to keep themselves as relevant as Halo. In order to do so, they are calling upon loyal fans to help them as beta testers.
Here’s the official announcement from the Bungie blog:
Bungie explains that the help they may request will range from playtests and usability testing, surveys on gameplay habits, as well as alpha and beta testing for their next release.
Not all who enlist will be selected. But hundreds of thousands of gamers will likely be needed before all is said and done. March with us, and together, we will bask in the glory of World Domination.
In order to be considered for beta testing, you must have a Bungie.net account and have the “Updates on how to become a Bungie Beta Tester” box checked in your profile settings.
Even though there is no compensation, it seems like an interesting opportunity. Since Bungie’s fame is all thanks to their work on the Halo franchise, it could be a great experience to help with their brand new game and get a taste of its potential. Fans of the developer are waiting with baited breath to see what they have in store and it would surely be rewarding for a fan who gets to lend a hand.
