Call of Duty: WWII's beta event may have just come to a conclusion for consoles, but for PC players, the wait for access to the famous franchise's latest installment has yet to end. According to an announcement on Sledgehammer Games' website however, it would seem that our patience has finally been rewarded. WWII is scheduled to arrive on PC with a multiplayer beta event later this month, and this time, it's not just for pre-orders.
