HAWKEN's third and final Closed Beta event begins soon! The event starts around 12:00 PM on November 20 and runs until December 6 at 11:59 PM. All times are in Pacific Daylight Time (-8 GMT). To join this event, grab a code from one of the many giveaways we’re holding this week on partner websites. If you participated in Alpha 2, you’re all set and do not need to redeem a new code. There is no non-disclosure agreement for the Closed Beta events; we encourage you to capture footage and screenshots of your battles and share them. Please remember that the Alpha 2 NDA remains in effect.

We'll be publishing the latest patch notes and a new Producer Letter tomorrow!

When is the next Closed Beta event_
Our third and final Closed Beta event begins November 20 around 12:00 PM Pacific and will close December 6 at 11:59 PM Pacific. Not sure what time that is for you_ Here's a handy world clock to help you see what time Pacific time is in your time zone. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

Will you be wiping between the last Closed Beta event and this one_
No, you can continue building out the mechs you've come to know and love. Unfortunately, we did need to wipe all accounts between CBE2 and CBE3. You should start with 4800 Meteor Credits.

Will there be more Closed Beta events_
No, this will be our last Closed Beta event. Open Beta comes next on December 12, 2012!

How do I know I'm in the latest Closed Beta event_
If you were in Alpha 2 or Closed Beta Event 1, you're set! Additionally, you should receive an email confirming your invitation prior to the start of the event along with a download link.

How do I get a code_
We've given codes to a few select partners, and when we hear they're handing out codes, we'll be sure to announce it on our Twitter and Facebook, as well as here on the forums.

How do I redeem my code_
Got your hands on a Closed Beta code_ Congrats! Log into your account (or create one!) on the PlayHawken.com website. See on the upper right side of the navigation bar there_ That little section that says "Redeem Code"_ Click that and put your code in!

I played in the Alpha 2 event but didn't make it into the last Closed Beta. Do I need to download a new client_

[FR05TY]

Is the beta live_ I am getting an error "You are not authorized to access this version" every time I attempt to log in. I have been in every beta, and alpha 2 as well.

[Slighter]

Same here - "You are not authorized to access this version". I've been in both betas. What the fish_

[Speedycarpet]

He said 12PM not AM

[FR05TY]

Ah, figures. And here I was, getting all excited and missing sleep. I am not a clever man.

[c0mad0r]

Do the math from your own GMT timezone and you can see when it starts in your neck of the World.
