While this close to release, it's hard to think of anything for a game as a beta in the traditional sense, a leaked email sent to users of EA's Ronku service indicates that a beta for Battlefield Hardline will go live starting on February 3.
The email, submitted by a user on Reddit, reads: "Secondly, in case you haven't heard the beta for Battlefield Hardline goes live on February 3rd and there will be both a YouTube & Twitch assignment for this beta launch. More details on these assignments coming next week. I hope you are as excited as I am for the new Battlefield game!"
Ronku is an official EA program that sponsors some YouTube streamers by paying them for playing select games on their channels. The program made headlines when it was unveiled last year, but EA also clarified, "We explicitly state in the Terms & Conditions of the program that each video must comply with the FTC's Guidelines concerning Use of Testimonials and Endorsements in Advertising."
Details for the Hardline beta came out earlier this month, with developer Visceral Games general manager Steve Papoutsis saying, "To be frank, we want you to play this beta to death. We need you to." Last week we also learned about all of the new maps and modes coming to the Hardline, including two new esports-centric match types. The shooter is set to launch on March 17 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC.
