Part of Halo: Reach's opening cinematic premiered at the Spike Video Game Awards last night. On the heels of the premiere, Microsoft sent out a press release that confirms a few details about the game.

According to the press release, the game's multiplayer beta will begin in Spring 2010. Those of you who purchased Halo 3: ODST will get exclusive access to this beta. Wonder if we'll see a spike in ODST's sales once the beta is imminent?

The release also mentions that Reach hits stores on Fall 2010. That shouldn't surprise you, considering we haven't heard all that much about it yet. Plus, it's Halo and a franchise that big begs for a holiday launch.
