Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Multiplayer Beta Launches In January

Ubisoft still plans to hold a multiplayer beta for their oft-delayed shooter Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Today they revealed that testing will begin this winter.

"We know you have been asking about the beta. We're excited to announce that the MP beta will be launching in January 2012!" tweeted Ubisoft.

The beta is exclusive to the Xbox 360. To gain access, U.S. gamers will need to pre-order the game through GameStop. Owners of the 360 version of Splinter Cell: Conviction will also receive access via the game disc.

Future Soldier's release date has yet to be nailed down. In another tweet, Ubisoft said that it's expected in Q1 2012, though.
