Deathverse: Let it Die will have a limited open beta test in May and June

/

GungHo Online Entertainment and Supertrick Games will be hosting a limited open beta for their upcoming multiplayer survival action game Deathverse: Let it Die. Everybody is welcome to try the battle royale on May 28 and on June 5.

Those interested in trying out Deathverse: Let it Die can preload the game as early as today on either the PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4. For those interested in playing the game on May 28, the servers will be open from 1 PM to 7 PM PDT. For those planning to play on June 5, the open beta will be available from 1 AM to 6 AM PDT. 

Deathverse: Let it Die is nothing like the souls-like free-to-play RPG Let it Die as it’s a 16-player survival battle arena set in the game world’s television program Death Jamboree. When you get in a game, expect skirmishes between actual players and AI enemies. 

There’s a lot to take in to fully understand Deathverse: Let it Die. Here’s what you need to know according to the developers.

  • During the Limited-Time Open Beta, players learn the ropes in the game’s Tutorial, hone their skills in Training, and prove their strength against others in Ranked Matches online.

  • In this kill-or-be-killed combat, players face more than just each other. Bloodcurdling Cryptids roam the battlefield, and when the cutthroat Hunters enter the area, there are only two options: run or die.

  • Transform your Wilson into one of five different weapon types, including the Machete, Buzzsaw, and–Uncle Death’s favorite–the Katana. If you get tired of one weapon, swap to another killer playstyle.

  • The landscape of the arena changes between rounds, with multiple Battlefields to traverse. Take advantage of the terrain and catch foes by surprise from the high ground.

  • No one likes a battle that drags on. To keep rounds short, areas of the map become contaminated. Players that linger in these areas will lose health, making their attacks less deadly. With Hunters prowling the battlefield, staying in a contaminated area is a surefire way to seal your doom. 

  • Pick up items like Materials, Mushrooms, and Sub-skills to modify your abilities and boost your chances for survival. Items are dropped when you kill enemies or break boxes scattered across the field.

  • The best way to get ahead in this world is to kill the competition. Players that slaughter their foes in a flashy way, whether its fellow competitors or Cryptids, can grow their fanbase and earn Glory Points from the Death Jamboree audience. GP increases attack power, so we mean it when we say that fame saves lives! GP collectors can also pick up points from Killing Brands, which are dropped when a Hunter kills a competitor–but be careful, or you might be the next to die.

  • Like any respectable, bloodstained celebrity, develop your personal identity with a wide range of customization options. With tons of outfits, face paints, weapon and Wilson skins, and emotes, you can give yourself a murderous makeover. You can even deck out your Player Room, the area where you wait between matches. It’ll either be your green room or your grave…

At the tail-end of the match, the final two players will battle it out to see who will be the last player standing in what the game calls the Showdown Zone.

Anybody who participates on the limited-timed Open Beta will be given a ‘TEST PILOT’ title, a “T” pose emote, and a premium Uncle-D2 decal for the game when it officially launches. If you so happen to have played Let it Die and reached at least the fourth level in the Tower of Barbs, you’ll also score the title of ‘SENPAI’
