Titanfall is rumored to enter into beta beginning Feb. 14 and running until Feb. 19, a retailer source close to the French publication Xboxygen stated, as spotted by NeoGaf. The beta will allegedly be available exclusively from Zappos in France and Gamestop in the U.S. Posters advertizing the upcoming beta in France were also posted by the website, with the beta's start date clearly shown.
This follows the release of registration invitations earlier in the month to stress test the game on Xbox One as part of what developer Respawn Entertainment described as a "limited technical test" or alpha.

This will be great if it holds to be true. This will be the first opportunity for many of us to try out Titanfall and for others (Jstep) just more time with the game prelaunch. I'm sure if this is true we will hear an official announcement soon.
IGN has confirmed the rumor via Vince Zampella's twitter:
UPDATE: Respawn founder and studio head Vince Zampella took to Twitter to, it would seem, address this rumor sarcastically, saying, "Yes, we will have an announcement soon. I'm sure no one can guess what it will be... #supersecret"
Zampella also revealed that Titanfall on Xbox 360 is in development at Bluepoint Games, Respawn's Vince Zampella revealed. This is the Ico & Shadow of the Colossus HD and Metal Gear Solid HD Collection developer, for reference. It doesn't seem that we'll see an Xbox 360 beta.
"Details in the coming days," Zampella promised
