When Does the Alpha Launch?

Yesterday, September 16, Treyarch surprisingly announced an Alpha for BOCW. But for now, only for PS4.

According to the developer, the pre-load for all PS4 owners should start today, September 17. This means that in order to participate in the multiplayer alpha, you don't need to pre-order the game, you just have to own a PS4. The Alpha starts tomorrow, Friday, September 18, will run until Sunday, September 20.

As things stand at the moment, PC and Xbox players will, unfortunately, have to wait until October 15 and will not be able to access the Alpha.
