At San Diego Comic-Con this week, Insomniac Games has confirmed that the multiplayer beta forResistance 3will kick off during the first week of August. Yup, that’s only two weeks away. The beta will feature two modes — Team Deathmatch and Chain Reaction — but how many and what maps will be included is unknown.
There are a few ways to get into the beta, including using a voucher code found in new copies ofSOCOM 4if you’re in North America. European PlayStation Plus members will also get access. No word yet on any other means of getting in, but we’ll keep you posted.
Resistance 3is out September 6. I recently played theopening hours of the single-player campaign, and came away impressed — it’s now among my “must play” games for the remainder of 2011.
