Call of Duty: WWII Beta – Every Important Thing in One Place

In just two days, the Call of Duty: WWII beta will start for those with private beta access on the PlayStation 4! While we’ve already covered the beta in detail. here’s everything you need to know all in one place.

Thanks to the PlayStation Blog, a ton of details has been shared, and we now know that beta participants will even get some in-game goodies for participating, too!

HOW TO GET INTO THE PRIVATE MULTIPLAYER BETA

To gain access to the Call of Duty: WWII Private Multiplayer Beta, you need to pre-order the game at a participating retailer. Head over to www.callofduty.com/beta for more details. If you pre-order from the PlayStation Store, you can pre-load now to jump right into the action once the Beta starts on Aug 25 @ 10AM PT.

PRIVATE MULTIPLAYER BETA DATES

The Private Multiplayer Beta will be split into two weekends for PlayStation 4 players:

  • Weekend 1 starts at 10am Pacific / 5pm GMT on August 25 and will last until August 28 at 10am Pacific / 5pm GMT.
  • Weekend 2 starts on 10am Pacific / 5pm GMT on September 1, and will last until September 4 at 10am Pacific / 5pm GMT.

Now here’s the good stuff. Beta players will receive the “Private Multiplayer Beta Combat Pack” when the game launches on November 3! The pack includes an in-game helmet, Calling Card and an Emblem. Here’s what they look like.

Here’s the other multiplayer details that you need to know like the maps available, modes and more.

Ardennes Forest: Battle through the frigid snow-covered forest of the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge, the brutal final major offensive effort by the German army to punch through the Allied front lines. Engagements are fast and deadly in the dangerous, frozen woodland ruins. Stay alert in this medium size map fortified with emplaced MG42 machine guns waiting to annihilate enemy combatants.

Gibraltar: Battle through the fortified bastion and steep cliffs of Gibraltar, built as a strategic defense of the Mediterranean Sea and a major refueling and supply station for the Allied forces during WWII. Prepare for multilevel combat engagements and treacherous terrain in one of the most densely guarded and fought over places in Europe. Don’t neglect the lower lane, and use the defense batteries there to pick off flankers.

Pointe du Hoc: Fight through a fortified network of German bunker complexes atop the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc, an important strategic target overlooking the beaches of Normandy. Engage in fast-paced, close-quarters combat in the trenches, or flank the enemy in a brutal fight to lock down the nearby farmhouse and bunkers for control of key access routes to the bluff.

There’s even an all-new mode just for Call of Duty: WWII and that’s “War Mode.” 

WAR MODE

Additionally, players will be able to take part in Call of Duty: WWII’s War Mode. This is an all-new game mode where players must work as a team to defeat the enemy. Allied and Axis forces clash in team-driven assault and defend missions for key strategic objectives.

  • Fight for control of a war-torn French village west of St. Lo, an important operation in the Allied push onward and out of the beachhead at Normandy. Allied and Axis forces battle for control of a strategic manor to secure a forward operating position. Bridge construction, ammo depot demolition and tank escorts are key strategic tasks in this do-or-die mission to dominate the enemy. Choose your equipment wisely – every decision can mean the difference between victory and defeat in this narrative-driven, objective-based multiplayer experience – a first for Call of Duty.

That’s a lot for a beta, no? If you want to gain access, make sure to check back tomorrow as we’ll be giving away Call of Duty: WWII private beta access codes!
