Hello again PlayStation Assassins! It’s Gabe Graziani, your Community Developer on Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, back this week to announce that the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Beta is in full swing! This Beta is exclusive to PlayStation 3 and available to PlayStation Plus members, as well as those who pre-ordered from participating retailers.



If you are playing in the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Beta, I invite you to submit your feedback on our forums.

The Brotherhood Diaries

Surely you have seen our series of developer diaries called Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Diaries. Well, we are planning on releasing another episode this week that you won’t want to miss. Entitled “The Perfect Nemesis,” this new instalment in the Brotherhood Diaries discusses the increasing hostilities between Ezio and Cesare Borgia. Powerful, ruthless and well-defended, Cesare Borgia wields tremendous might as the ersatz ruler of Rome. Cesare may even have swayed some of Ezio’s former allies to his side!

Fear not, dedicated Assassins, because Ezio has some new tricks up his sleeve as well!

You can check out all of the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Diaries here.

  • gotta love the lies they continue to dole out to ps+ members

  • I signed up on Friday in order to get this. I was still mulling it over but the guaranteed beta access got me.

    And before anyone says that it’s not guaranteed, I will quote the email I received.

    “Buy the 12-Month Playstation Plus Package by October 3 and get a voucher code to participate in the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Beta.

    The only way to guarantee your invite to the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Beta is to go to the Playstation Store and purchase a one-year subscription to Playstation Plus. It’s worth it.”

    Sure, if I actually got a code it might be.

  • seriously whats going on here wheres my beta code at?

  • You know all this promising of something and failing to deliver is part of the reason, aside from the fifty bucks to be a part of the PS+. Being the main reason why I chose not to do it.

    And this is coming from someone who isn’t a PS+ member and is playing the beta for AC2 Bh. The way I was contacted was by email, Not through the PS network.

    So Anyways my thoughts .

    Peace out

  • usa store already update with with no beta goodbye ps+ only 25 days left on mine cant wait to get that useless plus away from my name

  • I logged into the store and found Playstation Plus had updated content. I scrolled through for a while. I can’t seem to find the Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Beta download. Could someone please tell me where to find it? I am a PS+ member and a big fan of the direction that the Assassin’s Creed series is heading.

  • Also PS+ and no Beta key…

  • I can’t believe this. I closed beta tested MAG and Uncharted 2 before becoming a PS+ member and Medal of Honor (after joining I’m guessing). The one game, the ONE game, I’d like to try early doesn’t appear in my inbox today.

    I played AC: II to 100% and have the platinum trophy for it. I was really looking forward to this title.

    Anyway, I’m not seeing a single reason why I should renew PS+. I was hoping for cross game chat (yes, I went there), a PSN AND a PS1 classic per month like advertised, and at least some discounts to games that are worth downloading the demo! What about a castle crashers discount? Or a Final Fantasy IX?

    ::face palm::

  • **If anyone has a beta key they aren’t thrilled to keep, I’m a die-hard fan and would appreciate it more than you could imagine.

    Just send me a message through PSN :)

  • The lack of the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood BETA for PS+ members really turned me off. If I could, I’d get a refund.

  • Had preordered this game a little while ago and am a PS+ member but not code.:( Oh well.

  • Its a lie NOBODY from plus got a beta key. anyone who says they do is lying/ didn’t get it from plus . maybe it’ll be there tomorrow , maybe not.

  • PS+ has been such a let down. None of the deals on PS store have been that great and I haven’t got into any of the 3 beta’s that are currently going.

  • yup a big let down for those like me that bought the ps+ sub to play betas and not [DELETED] mini games…

    invites suposively went out to “select” members aka “50 people that prob bought ps+ that never use thier system”..

  • wow i sensor my own comment and it still goes into “awaiting moderation” allow me to revamp my statement yet again..

    –yup a big let down for those like me that bought the ps+ sub to play betas and not stupid a** mini games… i could care less about stupid avatars and themes too..

    invites suposively went out to “select” members aka “50 people that prob bought ps+ that never use thier system”..

  • i’ve had tis one for a while lol ( I think I got it through ps plus (never preordered( also is there a patch to the the beta)

  • so we just go to gamestop with the pre-order and you recieve beta? if so, that slaps me on the knee.

  • Why won’t someone respond to everyone who hasn’t gotten a code and let us know what is going on?

  • I am a PS+ member, which seems to be the criteria for being in this Beta. I haven’t received an invite. Seriously Sony, how can you screw up so bad?

  • another Ps+ member without the code

  • seems like its better to just pre-order the game

  • I am 0 for 3 when it comes to PS+ betas. I guess I struck out?

  • somebody forgot to inform a certain blogger that if you dont insert ” SELECT MEMBERS ” every single time , your going to piss people off , because alot of these self entitled brats STILL dont understand that most devs want high quality feedback from QUALIFIED TESTERS . gotta blame retail voucher codes for this one , Now everybody thinks beta testing is an entitlement . it was a bad decision to use it as a selling point for ps + . I knew better but there are many who dont understand the nature of betas and didnt know better .

  • You kinda fail a bit with your comments considering ALL EU PS+ subscribers got the AC Brotherhood beta..only reason I bought a EU + subscription was for the beta and the warm and fuzzy EU Blog community..so “SELECT FEW” and any arguement towards it fails unless it applies to EVERY + subscriber (EU US or otherwise) Saying select is fine and well but it should apply to everyone, not just US subscribers. And I’m pretty sure that the US subscribers, ie ALL US, will get some other beta that is for them and select will be for the EU subscribers.But then again, someone commented earlier about SCEA not giving a sod about their community and SCEE really caring and from the EU blogs down to the EU + it seems to me that a bit of truth may be in those words.

    And please..don’t hold much stock in the theory that devs only want a small amount of ppl testing their games..that is such a lie. I’m not getting into that debate here right now but just know it is a lie.

  • And I didn’t renew my US+ sub because I was “fed up” or “not enough content” because imo it paid for itself..regardless of how much I got for free or what have you it was worth the money..I didn’t renew because SCEA proved and continues to prove how little they care about their audience and this community and SCEE keeps doing what they can to keep in touch and really listen to their community.You may not always get what you wish for..but at least your wish is heard, noted, and responded to.

    Oh and what an insult you don’t have a link to the EU blog at the top of your main page..the EU blog surely has one for here..oh but you do have blog share…you do remember what that is right? The place where unheard wishes go, remember? Oh and everyone, enjoy your PS2 emulation you have been asking for in the form of a hardware add on for your PS3 that who knows how much that will set you back.Nice job on hiding that patent Sony!! Anyway..rant over..mores the worse! That was for you Magic Hobo!

  • Grace from SCEA says we’ll be getting our beta invites via email at some point this week in our inbox. Calm down and do your research before you all start flipping out.

    All you guys that feel like me and didn’t get a beta from PSN+ check out this video and leave feedback , this is a video of me sharing my thoughts on PS “plus”

  • why the hell does the UK PS+ members get this and we don’t?

  • I didn’t get any beta invites after joining PS +

  • @ilnewsome i hope your right but that is sorta BS cause we havent got it yet >:C

  • Playstation+ Member – no code. Sweet.

  • Bought ps+ first week so I could get in this beta (I took a guess and I was right). Free games and themes are nice, but I wanted beta access and real exclusives, not just discounts on games that are on their way out. When my subscription expires I will not be renewing… if I could return it to make a point I would. SOrry Sony. you brought this on your self.

  • Please edit the sentence “This Beta is exclusive to PlayStation 3 and available to PlayStation Plus members.” Judging by most of the comments here and my own experience, it’s obvious that part of that is not accurate.

  • Psn+ member, one-year subscriber,first-day buy: no Beta. Thank you,i’m very happy to say that i’m not renewing psn+ and that Sony should be happy to know that it has lost credibility with me, and with everyone that didnt get the Beta. If you are not going to give it to everyone. SAY IT ON THE FREAKING NEWS.I’m sad i didnt subscribe to EU psn.I would have gotten Little Big Planet instead of 3 more months of this pile of [DELETED].

  • Ouch!!! Yet another PS+ member and no beta code…….Plus i got jibbed at Gamestop on the same day with no shirt as promised with Castlevania lords of shadows. HMMMMMM This is not cool!!!

  • Thank you SCEA! I did not receive an invite for red faction or assasin’s creed, no big deal, I wasn’t overly interesting in anyone of those games (hey but beta,s are always nice to try no matter what game) but I just got my invite for the dead space 2 multiplayer beta, thak you very much I know what I am doing tonight between 9pm-1am pacific, what is that in eastern time anyways? haha j/k i’m sure I can find that once again, thanks a lot, a beta that I am interested in, PS plus just gained some hardcore value.

  • i am another victim of the PS+ Scam i dint revive any beta key, thanks sony

  • I cant stop playing!! Its great and I am not a fan of the franchise. I hated Assassins Creed 1, it was clunky and boring. Assassins Creed 2 was a big improvement, but still lacked the real accountability I wanted. Now you really need to fit in with the crowd, it makes you pay attention, your wall climbing is a liability and feels more like a power. The powers you get just make that better. The pursuit system is fascinating, you are always chasing a target and you are always a target of another player. It makes you keep the pace up. The beta doesn’t have a many sprites, I’m curious to see what happens when you get into a city with more characters.

  • Well I’m another victim of this as well but let me make all of US people mad I was in the EU PSN Store and for the PS+ members they have AC:B Beta for like the last two weeks so I’m like what the hell is going on with that EU get before America not cool at all!

  • Isnt this called “False Advertisement”? A lot of companies have been sued for this. Class Action maybe… just saying.

  • Wow i pre-ordered the game, but i didn’t get any code for the assassin’s creed brotherhood beta…………ahhhhhh!

  • Still no beta key, when should we expect these again?

  • damn i was so happy when i saw that psn+ members get the ac:bh beta and so i waited… i checked the german psn and saw it offered on top but i thought it would maybe take a while longer in the us… now i got the dead space 2 beta invite but i didnt even really like the first dead space! all of europe got the ac beta and i didnt get any… if i keep getting these damn minis and no good games (wipeout hd was the only good one so far) i’m sure i wont buy another year… c’mon sony you can do better than this!

  • why is there only one reply by blog staff to this news story? I’m going to chime in with the rest and ask why hasn’t the beta code been distributed to all plus subscribers if that was one of the selling points “guaranteed access to this beta”? Why aren’t you honoring your marketing?

  • wow i got the dead space 2 beta inv but still no Assassins Creed
    and sony hasnt replyed to any of these! do they even care?!

  • Funny how 4 minutes after my comment (comment #140) Sony sends me a request to join Dead Space 2 beta. Well, way to go Sony. For all other people who dont have a beta yet just put “Class Action” in your comment. It’s a tripwire and Sony will respond. LOL!

  • Have PSN+ and no AC:B or DS2 for me …..

  • I purchased ps plus on August 30 after watching E3 2010 , i heard exclusive beta access for ps plus members , when i heard that i knew i had to sign up , little did i know what i was getting myself into… i still haven’t received any betas . i check email nothing there , day after day. Did i receive False advertisements ? I wonder what a lawyer would say?

  • wow I’m in the same sinking boat as everyone else. Paid for psn+ and all I’ve got from the ps store is games I already own or games that nobody wants. Sombody is getting there monies worth and its not me.

  • Quickest way to get a key….. Go to Gamestop and pre order for IN-STORE pickup. You don’t pay anything for preorders. Go to the local store you chose for pickup and show your I.D. You’ll get a receipt with an a code on it. Go to assassinscreed.com/ps3beta and type in said code (you’ll need to register if you haven’t already). The psn code will instantly appear. VOILA!
