Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment have announced that the Titanfall multiplayer test will be kicking off this weekend and will be open to all PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players.
The multiplayer teaser for the upcoming mech-based shooter will run August 19-21, and will commence again the following weekend, August 26-28. Since it’s an online-based affair, you’ll likely need a PlayStation Plus/Xbox LIVE membership to get in on the action.
Oddly enough, there’s no multiplayer test for PC owners—this is a console-only affair. Check out the new Titanfall 2 trailer below.
Here’s the full lowdown on the Titanfall 2 multiplayer test for those interesting in getting their mitts on the teaser.
Weekend 1
MODES
- Bounty Hunt (5v5): A brand new mode that pits Pilots and their teammates against an opposing team as well as the Remnant Fleet. Earn bonuses by killing grunts and enemies, but make sure and deposit all your points at the bank between waves without getting killed.
- Pilots vs. Pilots (8v8): Players can be the best Pilot on the Frontier and put their combat and mobility skills to the ultimate test in this classic 8 vs 8 Pilots only mode.
MAPS
- Boomtown: A secret underground IMC facility where the latest in R&D is put to the test. In this facility Pilots can use the many peaked roofs to use as cover against combatants below. With tight lanes through the middle, Titans can also be easily ambushed.
- Homestead: The IMC have claimed Imminent Domain on a small commune’s plot of land. With a series of raised, rocky plateaus and a river running down the middle, Pilots are mostly safe from Titans among the rocks and trees but they also can duck into the caves and building when needed. However, the Titans control the large rolling fields.
Weekend 2 (everything above plus the following):
MODE
- Amped Hardpoint (6v6): A new twist on Hardpoint Domination from the original game; now defending a Hardpoint will let you amp it, giving your team double score. Team work is the key to securing victory.
MAP
- Forward Base Kodai: Militia forces have taken over an IMC substation and set up a forward operating base. Pilots can find safety from Titans in the hallways and chambers of the main building, while Titans can walk over the roof to get a better view of the action.
Titanfall 2 has a release date of October 28, 2016 on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
