Final Fantasy XV Comrades Multiplayer DLC Beta Test

The closed beta allows you to create a character of your own and join up with 3 people for some online multiplayer. The beta will have a limited amount of content compared to the full release. You won’t be leveling up, not all locations and weapons are included and there are a limited amount of quests and customization options. Still, there should be enough to get a taste of what’s to come.

There is no release date yet for the full expansion but we can expect it likely in the fall, ahead of the final episodic DLC, Episode Ignis which is coming in December. The recent update brought the long awaited Magitek suits as well as the festive carnival back for a limited time.
