It is being said that there is a possibility that this was a closed beta, which was not supposed to reach the public and was just meant for testing purposes. Some are also speculating that this is a leak for an upcoming beta for the game. As of now, all we can do is keep our excitment to ourselves and take all assumptions with a pinch of salt. However, after this, we expect to hear something concrete about the possible test soon.

This test follows a mysterious image of the game that popped up online claiming that the game will release next month. However, the image was unsourced and was reportedly taken at an unspecified Irish video game store, it could just be a placeholder date. WB Games Montreal is yet to release a comment. We expect the image to be aa placeholder only considering that such a major game will not release without any pre-release marketing.
