betaheadersm

We’ve started selecting the beta testers for the BattleBlock Theater Closed Beta! Selected registrants will be notified via e-mail in wavesBIG, crashing wavesand not all at once so don’t fret if you haven’t received anything yet! It will take some time to go through all the applications and it’s better to start early. If you haven’t filled out a registration form already, you can still submit one HERE. Don’t forget to read all the documents and pre-requisites you need to fulfill.

BBT_ClosedBetaContest250If you’re super stoked and can’t wait to see if you’ll be chosen, you still have a few more chances to get a guaranteed spot through our official contests held by various websites. This week IGN will be holding a contest on Thursday, February 14th. And for those who speak Italian, The Nerd Magazine is doing a special “Easter Egg Hunt” type of contest all week long. Just remember that even if you win any of these contests you will still need to adhere to the Terms & Conditions, NDA and fill out the beta registration form.

Last but not least, we have an important part of the beta registration process you’ll need to check on.

What’s in the BattleBlock Theater Beta?

The BattleBlock Theater Closed Beta will be here sooner than we think. We’re still locking down all the details, including the beta testing dates, but we do have an exciting update to share! In addition to story levels and the level editor, we’ll be giving Beta Testers access to all the arena modes!

The Beta will include a few levels of each arena mode, which have yet to be fully revealed…until now.

Next BBT Beta Contest: XBLA Fans

OrangeKnightThis week, you’ll get to test your Castle Crashers knowledge  for a chance to win a spot in the BattleBlock Theater Closed Beta. Each day from February 5th until February 11th, XBLA Fans will be posting up one character or item from Castle Crashers. There’s a catch to these images! They’ll be distorted in some way, which means you’ll have to do your best to guess what the original image is! Only one correct answer will win a beta code, but you’ll have seven times to show off your Castle Crashers expertise.

NOTE: Even if you win the Beta spot, you MUST qualify according to the BBT Beta Terms & Conditions and have all the prerequisites fulfilled. Of course, we will need you to be registered on theBeta Registration Form. The process is the same, but you will be guaranteed a spot! Good luck!

Participants are eligible for only one guaranteed beta spot from any official contest. For example, if you won a spot from the week one contests, you are no longer eligible to win any additional contests.
