Tribes Ascend beta starting November

The better-late-than-never closed beta for Tribes Ascend will kick off on November 4.

Confirmation came from developer Hi-Rez Studios lead Todd Harris in the interview below, in which he admitted the beta is starting later than planned.

The delay, he explained, is down to the developer wanting to make a "few adjustments" based on feedback from previous Alpha testing, and the decided inclusion of the game's deeper character progression elements.

The Tribes series may not be a big name among the console masses, but PC types will remember the series for its epic online battles and iconic jetpacks and skiing.

In development at Hi-Rez Studios, Ascend is a free-to-play shooter, hitting PC and Xbox Live Arcade early next year.
