The First Beta Weekend Available Exclusively on
PS4™ Starts Today Through Monday, Oct. 17, With a Second Weekend
Kicking Off Oct. 21 Through Oct. 24 on PS4 and Xbox One
The start of the highly anticipated Call of Duty®: Infinite
Warfare multiplayer beta kicks off today on PlayStation®4
computer entertainment system. Gamers who pre-ordered the game on
PS4™ system will obtain a beta access code for instant access to
the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare multiplayer beta. They
will experience Infinite Warfare multiplayer firsthand, including
all-new maps, the all-new Combat Rigs system, new weaponry, unique
progression systems, mission teams, select multiplayer modes and
more, starting now through 10:00 a.m. PT, Monday, Oct. 17.
“Infinite Warfare multiplayer is about customizing the
experience to fit different play styles, and that begins with
Rigs,” said Dave Stohl, Studio Head of Infinity Ward. “In the Beta,
players will get their hands on our new Rigs, abilities, equipment,
and of course our new craftable, prototype weapons. With new maps
and modes, there’s a ton of cool new stuff here, and we’re excited
to share a slice of multiplayer with the community. The data we’ll
receive over these next two weekends will be helpful as we get
ready to share the full multiplayer experience next month at
release.”
The Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare beta represents a
sample of the full multiplayer mode, giving fans access to a slew
of its new features and returning features. Beta participants can
get hands-on with one of the biggest additions to Infinite
Warfare’s multiplayer offering – Combat Rigs. Built around six
distinct play styles, these new combat systems, or suits, offer a
whole new level of customization for the player. Choosing your Rig
provides a layer of strategy for fans as they personalize their
loadout with selectable abilities, called Payloads or Traits,
before heading into battle. Three of the game’s six different
Combat Rigs will be available when the Beta kicks off.
The Infinite Warfare Beta features three diverse maps designed
to accommodate a variety of engagements, all built to immerse
players into fast, fun, and frenetic gameplay that players have
come to expect from Call of Duty. The Beta will feature several
game modes, including fan favorites like Team Deathmatch,
Domination, Kill Confirmed and a brand new game mode called
Defender. Players will also be introduced to Mission Teams. By
joining different teams and ranking up, players can earn unique
rewards from that team, including calling cards, camos, emblems,
weapons and more.
Players will battle online with a wide array of new weaponry and
equipment, have access to new scorestreaks, lethals, tacticals and
customization options that let them tailor their multiplayer
experience to suit their play style. Additional multiplayer
content, features, maps and game modes will launch with the final
game on Nov. 4.
The second weekend of the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
multiplayer beta will open up to fans who have pre-ordered the game
on either PlayStation®4 system or Xbox One, and will take place
from 10:00 a.m. PT, Friday, October 21, through 10:00 a.m. PT,
