Ubisoft is now accepting registrations for a Dark Messiah of Might and Magic beta test. The number of seats is limited. You will need a powerful computer to participate, as well as a free Steam account. If you are interested, fill the form here.

Speaking of Dark Messiah, an Arkane Studios director has been spotted on the official forum, under the name of raf_arkane (Rafael Colantonio maybe?). Hopefully the beta test will be a good opportunity to get in touch with the development team. Also, on GameSpot, you will find a detailed description of the game's multiplayer modes. There is also a discussion with Romain de Waubert de Genlis, who worked on the Battlefield shooters before.
