Train2Game students have the opportunity to be a part of the closed beta for Hawken, the upcoming multiplayer mech combat FPS from indie studio Adhesive Games.

Hawken isn’t going to be released until 12^th December 2012, but Train2Game students can sign up to be a part of the closed beta by registering details at https://playhawken.com/.

Adhesive Games have also announced that Hawken will be free-to-play. Want to know more about Hawken? Watch the trailer below.

Beta testing is an excellent way for Train2Game students, especially those on the Games QA Tester course to practice their bug hunting skills. Not only that, but in an interview with the Train2Game blog, Trion Worlds Senior QA Tester Karl Tars said that beta testing is potentially a way to get into the industry.

And in a recent interview with The Train2Game Blog, Brawl Busters developers Rock Hippo told us that beta testing is “crucial” to the game development process.

For more on beta testing, how it’s useful for Train2Game students, and opportunities to get involved with it, see the Train2Game blog.

So Train2Game, what are your initial thoughts on Hawken? Will you be applying for a place in the closed beta?
