For those of you who have received Early Access to the Public Beta via specially marked packages of SOCOM 4, the beta will be opened to you at some point on Thursday, August 4th. Existing codes will be able to be redeemed via the PlayStation Store and the Redeem Code button.
PlayStation Plus subscribers in the U.S. will also be invited to join the beta beginning on August 23rd (navigate to the PlayStation Plus section of the PlayStation Store to download the beta).
The Resistance 3 Beta includes two of the major maps in the game, the Seaside of Glamorgan, Wales, as well as a Trainyard in Bogota, Colombia. The Public Beta includes two of our five multiplayer modes, Team Deathmatch and Chain Reaction (the other three are Deathmatch, Breach, and Capture the Flag). Gamers will have the ability to level your character up, buy and upgrade weapons and abilities, customize loadouts and unlock new character skins.
The level has been capped in the beta at 20, so you won’t be able to get the full range of abilities, modes, maps, and weapons until the game launches in September.
The beta will continue beyond the Early Access period, and there will be additional ways to get in Resistance 3′s launch date.
