As previously planned developers Creative Assembly have officially commenced the open beta process designed to test multiplayer functionality in Empire: Total War.<\/p>\n
All owners of the game, which was released in March this year, will be able to take part in the open beta by registering on the game’s official website, after which they will be emailed a key to use to play the beta client through Steam.<\/p>\n
“Information and user feedback gathered from this Open Beta should help us getting the Campaign Multiplayer mode ready to be a regular feature in upcoming titles in the Total War series,” creative director Mike Simpson commented.<\/p>\n
