Champions Online beta dates were for press only
Namco's let us know that the email it sent through yesterday detailing a Champions Online beta was supposed to be press-only information and wasn't meant for public consumption.
That wasn't mentioned in the email, unfortunately. Which is why we published it. The info's subject to change and is causing some confusion.
"These dates are by no means finalized, and are working dates that are most likely going to change," Daeke, of the studio's online community team, wrote on the game's official boards (via Shacknews).
"I'm not sure why this information was posted, but we will post the dates for things like Open Beta as we set them."
The Cryptic MMO launches in the first week of September.
