If you were hoping to jump into the RE:Verse open beta test that went officially live today, we have some bad news as Capcom has temporally suspended the beta due to matchmaking issues.

As posted on their Twitter, Capcom confirmed that until further notice, the RE: Verse open beta test will be suspended.

【Regarding the RE:Verse OBT】 As we are still seeing issues with RE:Verse OBT matchmaking service, we have decided that until further notice to temporarily suspend the OBT to resolve the problem.  We will continue to investigate, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

As we are still seeing issues with RE:Verse OBT matchmaking service, we have decided that until further notice to temporarily suspend the OBT to resolve the problem.  We will continue to investigate, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

No further details were provided as to when we could expect the RE: Verse beta to come back up, or if Capcom plans on extending it due to the downtime. For those wondering what these matchmaking issues were, players were reporting extremely long wait times when the beta opened up. So long in fact that they even outpaced the length of a full match. Capcom attempted to fix the issue earlier, though to no avail weren’t able to solve the issue.

With the downtime now in effect, hopefully Capcom can better pinpoint where the matchmaking issues were occurring. We will be sure to update this post as soon as we hear any updates on the beta returning back to full functionality.
