Konami has announced today that the beta for the upcoming release of Metal Gear Survive is set to begin, which will run from today through January 21st, 2018. In this beta, fans will be able to check out the new features that are available in co-op mode, which offers live events and new missions.
The beta, which is available now, offers two maps with three missions for the co-operative mode. Those who participate in the beta will also be able to earn bonuses in-game, and will be granted a FOX HOUND name plate, a Metal Gear Rex head accessory and a bandana accessory.
Carrying on from the ending of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Metal Gear Survive seesplayers being dragged through a worm hole, where they will find themselves having to survive in a hostile world in a dangerous environment. The deadly creatures within aren’t the only thing to contend with, as players will need to traverse the land for food, water and other resources in order to stay alive. Materials will have to be gathered to build weapons, develop base camps, create handy items and work with growing crops and animal rearing facilities. There are also new weapons to be introduced, as well as past weapons in the series such as Walker Gears and Fulton balloons.
Metal Gear Survive is set for release on February 22nd worldwide on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
