Ubisoft, publisher of popular franchises like Assassin’s Creed and the hotly anticipated Far Cry 3, announced today the details for the Far Cry 3 Multiplayer Beta, which will remain ultimately closed through invitation only.
Running for two weeks this summer on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the beta will allow invited players to participate in 16-player supported multiplayer matches – with up to 6 playable classes and dozens of weapons and upgrades to choose from, not to mention several maps and modes, including what they’re calling Firestorm mode.
Zip-lining, combat sliding, psyche gas, barrel bombs, and teammate reviving will all be a part of the team-focused gameplay experience.
To gain access to this invitation only beta, players need only pre-order Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier from GameStop, or by entering the beta sweepstakes over on the publisher’s Facebook page.
For those who pre-order Future Soldier through GameStop, your invitation codes can be redeemed at the GameStop website, and can be validated starting on May 22 when the site goes live. You’ll be able to choose your console of choice to play on, which will be redeemable upon with your actual redemption code that’s emailed once the beta begins this summer.
Additionally, beta keys will be given out on social networks like Ubi.com, farcrygame.com, and other social networks. Best start following their twitterz and facebookz.
