Hi-Rez has announced it’s now accepting applications for the Tribes: Ascend closed beta, which is scheduled to begin in “the next few weeks.” Players can apply for this initial phase through here, and Hi-Rez Studios will be granting access to thousands of hand-selected players worldwide as well. During the beta, players will partake in two gameplay modes over four multiplayer maps, and will have access to three vehicles. There will also be 12 playable classes to choose from, and multiplayer matches of up to 32 people.

Hi-Rez Studios will continue to increase the number of beta participants through the end of this year in preparation for a general game release in Q1 of 2012.

Hi-Rez has announced that Global Agenda will go into closed Beta, tentatively, July 24.

If you signed up for the Beta, or want to, here’s the meat and potatoes of how to know if you were chosen:

Invitations for Closed Beta Phase 1 (CBT-1) will be sent in groups.

The first group was sent in late June and was primarily directed to existing Alpha testers. Subsequent invite waves will be sent during the weeks of July 8 and July 15, 2009.

In order to participate in the Beta, players that receive an Invite must RSVP by visiting the Global Agenda website and following the instructions in the invitation. Each invitation will include a date by which a player must confirm their participation prior to the invitation expiring. Once a player confirms their participation, additional information will be sent regarding the test program.
