A VIP extended beta test for new title RUSE will be undertaken by publisher Ubisoft, we're told today.

For the chance to take part in this large-scale test, you'll need to sign-up or log-in to a Ubi account, and then follow the instruction offered for the chance to join.

Ubisoft haven't confirmed when the beta test will begin, but we are assured that the trial will be underway sooner rather than later.

The French firm believe they are onto a winner with RUSE, a title with a twist (the use of potentially game-changing 'ruses'), but they clearly feel a little input will benefit the project.

RUSE is due to launch in 2010 for the PC, and 360.
