In Tom Clancy’s The Division, there are now indications that the beta should start soon, although it is likely called Alpha.
Update: Yeah, we had a good instinct. The Alpha starts.
The Division – repeatedly delayed and for many one of the most exciting titles in the coming months. The launch is set for March, with a “Beta” taking place in December for Xbox One players.
There are now indications that The Division is slowly getting into gear or rather “into the combat boots.” Players report that an achievement now appears in the app, “First to the Fray”. The achievement is awarded to players who participated in the Alpha in December 2015. It was initially thought to be a “Beta,” but the name has likely been changed.
Additionally, a player in the Division subreddit posted a screenshot of a ticket. It states that players will receive the link for the pre-load on December 7th. That would be today.
