"War of the Roses&amp;#039;s release and beta schedule has been revealed by Paradox Interactive. Senior producer Gordon Van Dyke told Digital Spy that it will release the medieval combat title at the &amp;quot;end of August, beginning of September&amp;quot;.   The publisher will also run an alpha test in May, as well as a beta that will &amp;quot;most likely&amp;quot; start by the end of July. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re going to have a private alpha, and we&amp;#039;re going to give keys through various media channels,&amp;quot; said Van Dyke. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re going to have different ways for people to get in. We want to get quite a few people in, we just want to make sure that it&amp;#039;s not too many, and we don&amp;#039;t have the proper systems to support that.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;But we want to open it up to quite a few people, but trickle them in, and that&amp;#039;s going to start sometime in May. That&amp;#039;s where we need a lot of information, where we need to actually do something with it. Van Dyke previously worked on the Battlefield series, while developer Fatshark previously worked on Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 and Lead &amp;amp; Gold. Publisher Paradox Interactive previously said that UK retailer GAME was a &amp;quot;bully&amp;quot; and said it was to blame for its recent period of administration. &amp;gt; Preview: Digital Spy goes hands-on with War of the Roses Watch a trailer for War of the Roses below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
