Additional details were provided on the official website, where the developer explained that the same content from the closed beta test conducted in December 2022 will be featured in the upcoming open beta.
“Because so many people sent a request during the recent closed beta test, we will now carry out an open beta, allowing more and more fans to try things out,” Capcom said.
Capcom kicked off two betas last month, the first for PlayStation users followed a week later by another for Xbox and PC players.
