The start and close dates for the Amplifying Test will be announced at a later date.
The Amplifying Test will also showcase a new character named Zhuu Yuan, a new faction called the New Eridu Public Security's Criminal Investigation Special Response Team, the new Bangboo mechanics, combat challenges, and more.
Here is more detail about the game and the upcoming closed beta from HoYoverse’s press release:
The upcoming closed beta test is expected to bring about significant improvements to the game's overall gameplay experience. Thanks to the latest upgrade of the HDD System, players will be able to explore the Hollows in a more efficient manner using the TV Wall (a.k.a. the Hollow Board), which has been optimized to a considerable extent. After several iterations, combat design is now more dynamic, maximizing excitement for both newcomers and hardcore players, especially in Rally Missions and Hollow Zero. Finally, New Eridu offers more urban life events and city guidance to provide its "citizens" with an immersive residential experience.

Players can register on the game’s official website as the Amplifying Test will be available for PC and mobile (iOS and Android). No closed beta yet for the PS5 version.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
