PlayStation's hero-shooter will enter open beta on July 12, here's everything you need to know

When will the Concord Betas take place?

Firewalk has almost finalized the development of its title but now needs your feedback to ensure everything is in order before launch. You will therefore be able to take part in two betas, with the first which will be reserved for those who have pre-ordered the game.

This early access beta will take place from July 12 to 14 and will take place on both PC and PS5. If you have not pre-ordered the title, you will still have a chance to participate in the beta, provided you know a friend who has already checked out. Instead of distributing a single code to people who pre-ordered ConcordFirewalk will send five, so you can give four to your friends.

Otherwise, you can just wait the open beta phase, which will take place from July 18 to 21. During this period, no code is needed, you can participate without restrictions.

Beta content

During these betas, you will have access to the 16 Freegunners (the playable characters) of the game which will be available at launch. Five maps will be available during this trial period (only the first four during early access):

  • Libronde : A fortified outpost with a large central courtyard
  • Aquatic hazards : A fishing platform on an ocean planet
  • Stellar Chamber : An observatory that was hit by a meteorite
  • Electrical hazards : A map covered by an electric field
  • Bone Mines : A card located on the skeleton of a creature on a tropical planet

These betas will also give you access to four different game modes (only three during early access), namely:

  • Trophy hunting : A mode in which you must eliminate members of the opposing team repeatedly to obtain the most points
  • Recovery : Here you will have to recover and protect a robotic packet transport system before the other team.
  • Occupation : A single zone must be captured by the teams during several rounds
  • Zone control : A basic control mode in which occupying places earns points

Finally, you will be able to watch the first cutscenes of the game, which represent the narrative aspect of the game. As a reminder, new scenes will be added regularly after the game's release to learn more about the different characters.
