612 Games’ Wild West Online, which many have considered to be the Red Dead PC game we never got, will be going into closed alpha on September 15th. The action MMO has three different editions available for purchase but only the Pioneer and Collector Editions will offer access to both the closed alpha and closed beta. Discounts are on offer and while there will be discounts during the actual closed alpha, they won’t be as significant.

The closed alpha will include a large map for players to run around with PvE missions and combat against other players as well. There’s not much more we know about it at this point but if you want to team up with friends on PC and run around in the Wild West, battling outlaws and riding horses, then it may be worth checking out.

612 Games chief creative officer Stephan Bugaj noted that,  “It’s been a whirlwind since we revealed Wild West Online and everyday our fans are asking when they can jump into the game. We’re thrilled to soon give PC gamers an initial taste of the western game that both they and ourselves have been waiting for.”

Screenshots for the closed alpha for DICE’s Battlefield 1 have been making the rounds and you’re probably confused about not being able to get in, even if you’re a longtime fan of the series.

That’s because according to EA in a recent FAQ, players were randomly invited. “We’re holding a very small, very exclusive closed alpha test for Battlefield 1.

“Unfortunately, we’ve already let in everyone we need for this test and won’t be giving away access to anyone else. If you’re confused, don’t worry. You didn’t miss a registration or sign up, it’s just a very small, closed test.”

Other tests could pop up in the coming months, as has been the case for other DICE games like Star Wars Battlefront. Battlefield 1 is out on October 21st for Xbox One, PS4 and PC so it certainly seems possible. In the meantime, stay patient and pay attention to an leaks that may emerge in the meantime.

Ubisoft has opened sign-ups for a closed alpha test of Rainbow Six: Siege. The alpha will only be for PC players though so make sure you have a UPlay account ready.

The test will be limited to North America and Europe and will only encompass multiplayer modes only. As of now, you need to sign-up, after which Ubisoft will take your application into consideration before selecting you. Dates and timings will be announced in the coming weeks/months.

Ubisoft has also provided a list of recommended PC requirements. You’ll need Windows 7/8/8.1 or x64 along with an Intel Core i5-2500K or an AMD FX-8120 octa-core CPU (with minimum clock speeds of 2.6 GHz and recommended clock speeds of 3.3 GHz). One will need 8 GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 or an AMD Radeon HD 7970/R9 280 X with roughly 2 GB of video RAM.

Rainbow Six Siege is also coming to PS4 and Xbox One by Ubisoft’s fiscal year 2016.

Full Control’s Jagged Alliance: Flashback has entered the closed alpha stage and this means that all backers who funded the project through Kickstarter will gain access.

Full Control CEO Thomas Lund stated that, “We are happy to announce that Jagged Alliance: Flashback is finally in Alpha, with Steam Early Access close on its heels. Fans of the franchise will be excited about the return of the beloved turn-based action of the original game, and we can’t wait to get feedback from our Kickstarter backers and the rest of the community when Early Access on Steam begins.

“So go ahead, talk to us! We want to make this game as great possible for the fans of the franchise, which is also why we have chosen to focus heavily on the modability of the game.”

Jagged Alliance: Flashback will be available for PC via Steam Early Access in Q2 2014. The goal seems to be to gather feedback from the community along with using additional funding to add more content and new features. Those looking for more info on the closed alpha can head here.

Jagged Alliance: Flashback has been in development since June 2013 and is due to launch in late 2014.
