Paradox Interactive and Colossal Order Ltd have today announced details on how to sign up for the limited Closed Beta for Cities in Motion, a mass transportation simulator set across four European cities and due for release on PC in early 2011. Developed by Colossal Order Ltd, Cities in Motion sees players develop and operate their own public transport company building a travel network across Vienna, Berlin, Helsinki and Amsterdam using more than 5 modes of transport, and over 30 vehicles of transport including buses, trams, subway trains and water buses. As each city develops and grows the player must continue to meet the ever changing transport needs of its commuters, while at the same time ensuring it remains as profitable as possible.

Sign up for the Cities in Motion Closed Beta now at:

xxx (The beta is now closed and all participants have been notified!)
Sign up before midday on October 11th!

If you are selected for a place in the Closed Beta,

Featuring an in-depth campaign mode made up of 12 scenarios along with an open ended sandbox mode, an advanced map editor that allows players to create their own cities, plus much more, Cities in Motion will challenge players to create the perfect public transport system that has no cancellations, no delays and where the passengers are always happy!

tempting thanks for the heads up, gonna think a bit over it whether I'll be usefull or not on such a beta (not very good at hardcore economy but I suppose the game isn't that hardcore ) and if it doesn't start this week I guess I could find some time
 
@rsdworker: Reply before October 25th it says.

Normally I don't sign up for betas, but I want this game to succeed so badly I signed up anyway. I don't really mind if I'm in or out, as long as the game becomes Paradox worthy.
 
as applications are being accepted up to 25th + the time to read and sort them
It might take a while, esp if it goes the NDA route (you might have to receive a paper through snailmail and send it back) so I wouldn't hold my breath for this month ;)
 
I totally didn't notice this. Will you open it up again for another wave?
