Curious about Ubisoft Annecy’s outdoor sports game hitting on October 28? You can get a taste of the open-air ahead of release, thanks to a beta that’s now live worldwide.
Today, during Gamescom’s opening night stream with Geoff Keighley, Ubisoft revealed that a beta is now available until August 28 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PlayStation 4, and PC via the Ubisoft Store and Epic Games Store. The beta will have cross-play support, allowing you to group up with five friends.
The beta gives players access to three careers, such as Bike Races, Snow Tricks, and Air Sports (Rocketwing and Wingsuit). Multiplayer modes will unlock throughout the beta. According to the press release, you can expect the following rollout of modes:
- Starting August 25:
- Mass Races: The crazier the better in these epic, multisport races with more than 50 players*. New races appear randomly on the map every hour, so players will need to get ready to watch their blind spots, protect their position and remain agile with their skills as they fight their way to the finish line. This Beta will feature up to 6 different Mass Races.
- Versus Mode: Players can join up with 5 friends in career events and see who’s the very best.
- Tricks Battle: Players will compete in 6v6 matchups and try to land as many tricks as possible on the various modules to capture them and earn points. The team with the highest score wins.
- Starting August 27: Free for All: In this mode, players can challenge up to 11 opponents and show them how it’s done through a select playlist of events.
Will you be giving the extreme sports game a chance? Bike, ski, snowboard, and more as you enter a social playground to slay tricks and impress your competitors. You can watch the trailer below to see if you think the beta is worth trying.
