Capcom have announced an open beta and its date for upcoming online multiplayer shooter Resident Evil Re:Verse. 

As previously reported; the game features characters from across the series in four to six player 5-minute deathmatches, where defeated players can turn into terrifying bioweapons. Collect more virus capsules to turn into an even worse beast when killed, and slaughter your enemies.

A closed online multiplayer beta was announced before the game itself was, and now the dates for the open beta have been confirmed for April 7th to April 11th; on Windows PC (via Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game itself will also be free to those who buy Resident Evil Village.

Those who played the closed beta need only download an automatic update, otherwise pre-loading begins April 5th. Capcom advises “Newcomers should also register a Capcom ID today so that you’re all set for the open beta once it begins!” Playable characters include Chris and Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, and Hunk; all with unique weapons and skills. The bioweapons that players can turn into include Jack Baker and Nemesis.

You can find the rundown (via the official website) below.
