Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Beta Extended Until October 18

Written by Brandon Hofer on October 17, 2016

News: Infinity Ward has extended the beta period for 24 hours to allow PS4 gamers to get more time with the game.

The Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare beta took place this past weekend on PS4 and was supposed to end today. Infinity Ward has extended it though for another 24 hours so that you can have more time playing their new title. The Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare beta will now end on October 18 at 10am Pacific.

During the weekend gamers got a chance to play the FTL Combat Rig in addition to game modes Kill Confirmed and Gun Game and the new map, Precinct. Even though the beta ends tomorrow for PS4 gamers it will resume this coming weekend and this time Xbox One gamers will be able to join the party as well.

“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 playstyles, 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.

Have you played the Infinite Warfare beta yet? If not, do you plan on doing so either today or next weekend?
